Patient's question:
The day before yesterday and the day before the day before yesterday, we had sex. Last night, my husband said his glans was itchy and he washed it. This morning, his foreskin is red and swollen. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by balanitis. It is recommended to use 3% boric acid solution 200mL or 0.1% Ringer's lactate solution to rinse the affected area twice daily, with each session lasting 20 minutes. Pay attention to local hygiene and clean the glans and foreskin daily. If the foreskin is too long, seek timely treatment, and consider circumcision if necessary. It is essential to clean the foreskin regularly. In addition to medication for treating foreskin redness and swelling, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should choose a top-tier hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic effect.
