Patient's question:
I found something wrong with me. The foreskin and glans seem a bit red and swollen, and there's a bit of odor. I quickly went to the community hospital downstairs. They said it might be inflammation of the foreskin and glans, and gave me some medicine to take first. If it doesn't work, they suggested coming back to use saline solution. I didn't take the medicine. I want to ask how traditional Chinese medicine can treat this?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment: Traditional Chinese Medicine often divides the treatment of this condition into three types: the toxic-fire stagnation type, the damp-heat producing insect type, and the liver-kidney yin deficiency type. Different treatments are applied based on different clinical manifestations.2.1 Toxic-fire Stagnation Type: Characterized by redness and swelling of the foreskin and glans, with erythema, papules, vesicles, or purulent discharge, accompanied by pain, difficulty urinating, and concurrent mouth and tongue ulcers, irritability, and restlessness. This is due to the stagnation of toxic-fire that cannot be expelled. Treatment should focus on clearing heat, draining fire, and expelling toxicity. A commonly used formula is modified Daochi Dan (Guide the Red Pill).
