Patient's question:
Yesterday, while taking a bath, I used shower gel and scrubbed hard. When I took a nap, I started feeling extremely itchy and kept scratching with my hands. This morning, when I got up, I noticed that my foreskin and scrotum were swollen. The scrotum was much larger than usual. Hello, what could be causing the swelling in my foreskin and scrotum?Doctor's answer:
The position of the prepuce and scrotum has again developed edema, which requires consideration of sexual contact or harm. Apart from these aspects, it could also be chronic bacterial infection or trauma with tissue fluid leakage. Elastic bandages can be used for re-bandaging, or magnesium sulfate can be taken orally, or potassium permanganate can be used for sitz baths to improve blood flow and achieve complete recovery. Additionally, the use of antibacterial drugs should be coordinated, and high-protein foods should be consumed to enhance metabolism.
