I previously had a normal length foreskin, but suddenly it's itchy. What should I do?

Patient's question:

I previously had a normal length of foreskin, but after a prolonged and intense sexual intercourse and not wearing underwear for several consecutive days, I suddenly noticed that my foreskin and frenulum had become longer and itchy. What are the symptoms and how should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

You are currently mainly experiencing discomfort and pain due to excessive foreskin. Based on your description and symptoms, it seems you may have developed balanoposthitis due to sexual activity. I recommend that you visit a regular hospital to have your foreskin surgically removed. Conditions with excessive foreskin tend to recur frequently and require long-term medication. Additionally, for male patients, it is crucial to seek professional and regular medical attention immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Furthermore, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
