Patient's question:
Patient is male, 14 years old, with one side of the foreskin stuck to the glans. After the surgery, there is a wound. The doctor asked me to clean the wound with iodine. It has been 2 days now, and the wound is not swollen or red, but it is still red. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
The male reproductive organ can naturally expose the glans and corona in a normal flaccid state, which is normal. If it cannot be exposed but can be lifted to reveal the glans, it is considered phimosis. If it cannot be fully lifted to expose the glans, it is considered paraphimosis! It is necessary to undergo surgical treatment as early as possible. I believe everyone knows that phimosis and paraphimosis cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment promptly. 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.
