How should phimosis be handled?

Patient's question:

After circumcising for one and a half months, it has been more than two months now, and the penis has been red and swollen occasionally with a little itching. What is the reason?

Doctor's answer:

After circumcision surgery, one to two months later, the corona of the penis repeatedly swells and itches. It may be due to excessive foreskin preservation leading to balanoposthitis. Alternatively, it could be related to gynecological infections in close relatives. The female partner should undergo a thorough examination in the gynecology department to check for any gynecological infections. At the same time, it is crucial to maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia and hygiene after sexual activity. In addition to timely treatment, patients with urological conditions should pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in daily life. Sufficient deep sleep can help them recover from the condition more quickly.
