Why is the penis short and the foreskin red and swollen

Patient's question:

Penis shortening, foreskin red and swollen, can't pull back, sexual life is very short

Doctor's answer:

Hello, penis shortening refers to a penis less than eight centimeters in an erect state and less than three centimeters when not erect, with the rest being normal. Obese individuals with excessive foreskin may appear relatively shorter.
The red and swollen condition of the foreskin suggests foreskin inflammation. Potassium permanganate warm solution soaking can be applied, and it is recommended to undergo circumcision. I believe everyone knows that male dysfunction can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, avoiding foods, and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
