Patient's question:
This time when we were together, I brought a condom, and we only did it for 5 minutes. After that, I noticed some swelling in my foreskin, and it was a bit red and warm, but not painful. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Don't blame the condom~ That's because the condom friction caused by balanitis is just a small part. You need to take some anti-inflammatory medication or use an anti-inflammatory rinse. Before the anti-inflammatory treatment, it's best to urinate after feeling cold, and then wash it with a wet wipe when you go in to make it easier to wipe afterwards. Change a clean pair of underwear every night before going to sleep, don't just sleep with your bare buttocks. There's no need to go to the hospital, as they will just give you a bunch of expensive medicine that doesn't work well. Besides, you should also ask your sexual partner to pay attention to anti-inflammatory treatment because if one person has inflammation, the other is definitely inflamed too. Men's health patients, in addition to symptomatic treatment, also need to pay attention to maintaining a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients.
