Patient's question:
These days, my glans and foreskin have been a bit itchy, and the foreskin is slightly red and swollen, and it's quite painful. What should I do? What could be the cause of this? Is it related to my usual hygiene? Is there any good method for this? How do I deal with slight redness, swelling, and itching of the foreskin? Will it flare up again after recovery?Doctor's answer:
This is a recurrence of balanitis, which is related to personal hygiene issues, and it may also be caused by repeated exposure to unsafe sexual contact. When this occurs again, it is necessary to undergo a thorough examination and diagnosis. After the examination and diagnosis, the primary treatment involves appropriately using topical sterilizing agents and antibacterial medications based on the specific situation. Once fully recovered, it is important to maintain good personal hygiene consistently. The recurrence rate of this condition is generally low.
