Patient's question:
This morning while I was using the restroom, I noticed that the front of my foreskin was red and slightly swollen. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
There is redness and swelling in the foreskin, which obviously indicates that the patient has either excessive foreskin or phimosis. This requires treatment. It is recommended that if this condition reoccurs, the patient should visit the urology department of a hospital and have the urologist examine it to determine if it is due to excessive foreskin or phimosis. In such cases, a circumcision procedure may be necessary. After the circumcision, all symptoms of the patient will disappear.For patients with redness and swelling in the foreskin, daily treatment primarily focuses on symptomatic relief. The patient can take various oral medications and supplement with vitamins. Additionally, maintaining a regular sleep schedule and avoiding alcohol is important.
