Patient's question:
The foreskin has been a bit sore in the afternoon, and by the evening it became red, swollen, and painful, with some yellowish discharge, though it didn't smell bad. I took a bath and used Value1 to clean it. In the morning of the third day, it seemed to have slightly reduced swelling and no longer itched. However, after a while, the itching returned. I'd like to know how to treat the redness, swelling, and itching of the foreskin.Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be a symptom of balanitis, it is recommended that you visit the urology department of a hospital for a bacterial culture test to clarify the condition and receive medication treatment accordingly. Pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and temporarily suspend sexual activity. The condition of redness and swelling of the foreskin is very serious, and it is advised that the patient seek timely medical treatment and follow the doctor's advice for appropriate treatment. At the same time, pay attention to personal care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
