Patient's question:
Doctor, a few days ago my foreskin was red and swollen. There were yellow secretions in my underwear. But in the past few days, the swelling has subsided a bit.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, this condition may be caused by balanoposthitis due to excessive foreskin. Recommendation: It is best to pay attention to cleaning, always maintain local hygiene, wear breathable cotton underwear as much as possible, and avoid tight pants. You can apply erythromycin ointment for treatment. If you feel the foreskin is a bit long, consider surgical removal, otherwise it may easily recur. Avoid spicy foods in the short term. For the patient, if the redness and swelling of the foreskin are severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be given, and appropriate medication should be used, otherwise it may lead to recurrent redness and swelling of the foreskin. Additionally, the patient needs to pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
