Patient's question:
Can phimosis with redness and swelling be cured? How to treat it?Doctor's answer:
From your description, there may be a possibility of balanoposthitis that needs attention. The causes are often related to phimosis, excessive prepuce, masturbation, trauma, and infection, etc., leading to the shedding of keratinized epithelium and the secretion of glands, creating favorable conditions for other bacteria to thrive and causing inflammation. The clinical manifestations are commonly seen as local itching, redness, swelling, erosion, and even ulcers, along with the recurrence of discharge and a bad odor. In severe cases, symptoms may include fever, chills, systemic symptoms, or even penile swelling and pain. It is recommended to seek medical examination and treatment. Pay attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia, and if there is phimosis or paraphimosis, surgical treatment should be considered early.
