Patient's question:
Red and swollen foreskin with itching?? Can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Consider infections such as balanitis. The common causes of balanitis include infections from unsafe sexual practices, phimosis, penetration of pathogenic microorganisms, and poor local hygiene. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, especially local cleanliness, maintain a regular lifestyle, eat a light diet, drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. It is important to promptly undergo relevant tests at a formal hospital, such as external genital secretion tests and bacterial culture, to identify the condition. Based on the examination results, follow the doctor's advice and cooperate with treatment. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life.
