Patient's question:
Last night before going to bed, I retracted my foreskin. This afternoon, I noticed that my foreskin is swollen, and the swelling is quite severe. In this case, do I need medical treatment?Doctor's answer:
Generally, after a thorough recovery to the original condition, the situation gradually improves completely, which may take two to three days. Therefore, it may lead to conditions such as phimosis or other issues, causing swelling to reappear. It is best to have a medical examination at the hospital. If necessary, surgery may be required, as it could interfere with future sexual activity and cause pain. It is best to conduct a thorough examination. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health.
