Patient's question:
The tendon at the connection point between the penis and foreskin is swollen. Moreover, I have been using feminine hygiene liquid for 2 days, but it hasn't gone away. Last night, I also applied erythromycin ointment, but it's still not much better. What could be the reason? I have phimosis.Doctor's answer:
The so-called "string" you refer to is actually called a "ligament" in medical terms. It can enhance sensitivity. If there is phimosis, it is also easy for dirt to accumulate there. Therefore, regularly and thoroughly cleaning the dirt is also helpful.Medical Advice: You can focus on using a gynecological cleaning solution for this. There is no other specific treatment. Additionally, it is strictly prohibited to engage in sexual activity for several days, as erection can cause blood to rush to the area, worsening swelling. For those with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular lifestyle, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
