Patient's question:
Penis lighting, the skin covering the head of the penis is swollen and stuck. The head of the penis is a little red and swollen, and the lower body is very painful. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said that the foreskin and head of the penis are a bit inflamed. But what should I do in this situation where the head of the penis is stuck? Do I need surgical treatment?Doctor's answer:
Generally, this situation is treated conservatively with medication. It is recommended to use a dissolved potassium permanganate solution for cleaning, followed by the application of erythromycin ointment for treatment. If it frequently recurs and the patient has phimosis, it is best to undergo circumcision surgery as early as possible. If you decide to have circumcision surgery, it is essential to go to a reputable hospital. The foreskin can heal, but the treatment process is usually lengthy, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to cooperate fully with the doctor during treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Additionally, patients should pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
