Patient's question:
Doctor, I have a foreskin. I had surgery to remove it before, but it grew back later. Recently, my foreskin has been slightly swollen, and I want to know if I can apply cold compress to the swollen foreskin? It looks quite serious now, and I plan to go to the hospital for a thorough examination in a couple of days.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there is recurrent edema in the local area, which is primarily considered to be caused by chronic inflammation. Simply applying cold compresses is unlikely to alleviate the symptoms. It is recommended to promptly implement local infrared therapy, combined with oral anti-inflammatory medication, to treat the condition. Both methods can help relieve the symptoms. In terms of diet, avoid consuming foods and refrain from strenuous activities. Pay close attention to observing the penis, as this can help alleviate the condition. However, the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to use medications that target the specific symptoms during treatment. Additionally, it is advised to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow a proper diet during the treatment period. We hope that the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
