What medication should be taken for penile edema?

Patient's question:

Recently, I found myself experiencing phimosis again, which is causing me concern. So, I'd like to understand what medication should be taken for phimosis edema.

Doctor's answer:

The redness, swelling, and edema of the foreskin may be related to phimosis or balanitis. If the foreskin edema is severe, it is necessary to promptly seek medical attention for a face-to-face examination. The 1cm hard lump is it reappearing after surgery or before surgery? If it reappears after surgery, it may be caused by local circulatory disorders leading to swelling or lymphatic obstruction. If the lump is not painful, it generally does not require treatment. It is important to maintain local hygiene and keep it clean and dry. In this case, it may be necessary to enhance circulation and take oral antibiotics for treatment. Another situation is when the foreskin healing time after circumcision exceeds one month or even two months.
