Patient's question:

What are the reasons for the recurrence of red and swollen foreskin, where should you go for effective treatment of red and swollen foreskin, and where are the professional urology hospitals? Where should you go for effective treatment of red and swollen foreskin, preferably to a professional urology hospital.Doctor's answer:
Erythema and swelling of the foreskin are caused by balanoposthitis. When a man has excessive foreskin, poor hygiene often leads to the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and the glans, known as smegma, creating a favorable environment for bacterial growth. This results in irritation and infection of the foreskin and glans, leading to recurrent redness and swelling. The inflammation of the glans mucosa is the most fundamental factor causing foreskin redness and swelling. This condition can be caused by infections with various pathogens or local irritants. Foreskin redness and swelling are early symptoms of balanoposthitis. Therefore, if you experience this condition again, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly for a thorough examination.
