Patient's question:
I've noticed a particularly awkward situation these past few days, mainly because my foreskin is swollen. This condition is significantly affecting my daily life and training. What could be the cause of my symptoms? What effective treatment methods should I adopt? I look forward to your reply.Doctor's answer:
Penile swelling may be due to balanoposthitis, which is related to tight and breathable underwear, poor local hygiene, and prolonged sitting. It is recommended to use a liquid mixed with warm water to clean the lower body or to apply povidone-iodine to the foreskin and glans. Switch to loose and breathable underwear and avoid prolonged sitting. Pay attention to your diet; avoid alcohol and spicy foods for a few days. If the symptoms do not improve within two or three days, it is best to consult a urologist at a public hospital for an in-person examination.
