Patient's question:
I noticed the phenomenon of phimosis edema, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, balanitis (penile swelling) may be related to phimosis, excessive foreskin, poor local hygiene leading to inflammation, or improper masturbation. These factors can also cause recurrent balanitis. It is recommended to use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for soaking and cleaning. Avoid frequent erections during daily life. Abstain from masturbation and pay attention to personal hygiene. Circumcision can be considered at a later date. Balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek professional and regular medical attention promptly. Treatment should be decided based on examination results. Additionally, avoid smoking and alcohol consumption, maintain good personal hygiene, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
