Patient's question:
Hello! Every night as soon as I fall asleep, my penis becomes erect, and it stays that way all night, every night. Is this normal? It then leads to foreskin swelling.Doctor's answer:
Penile edema is one of the potential complications that may arise from excessive foreskin, which is relatively common among young men. Some men do not pay enough attention to the hygiene of their penis on a daily basis, leading to a persistently high incidence of penile edema. It is recommended that you pay attention to genital hygiene, maintain cleanliness before and after sexual activity, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and carefully observe symptoms to see how they can be alleviated. Otherwise, it is necessary to seek medical attention early for a thorough examination and follow the doctor's advice for treatment. For patients with penile edema, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life, while also maintaining good personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
