How to properly handle a foreskin tear?

Patient's question:

My foreskin tore at the point where the frenulum connects to the urethral opening during intercourse, with an open wound, no bleeding, but with pain. It has taken a long time to heal, and during sexual activity, the opening has become larger, causing severe discomfort. What should I do, doctor?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in this case, medication is not necessary. It will heal on its own in about 5 to 7 days. Just keep the area dry and clean, use an iodine solution to disinfect several times a day, and cover the wound with a bandage.
Advice:
This is nothing serious, and it will heal on its own in a few days. Keeping the area dry and clean to prevent infection is sufficient. As everyone knows, phimosis and paraphimosis can cause significant harm to men, so it's important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary habits, focusing on a light diet and avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, follow-up appointments may be necessary if needed.
