Patient's question:
Hello, I have a condition today where my penis has an erection. I touched it a few times near the corona, and the right upper part, close to the base, became congested with dilated blood vessels. I accidentally broke it a bit, and there's a small bruise that hasn't gone away. There's no external bleeding. What should I do? I don't want to go to the doctor. Will it get better on its own? Will it affect my sex life? Thank you, doctor.Doctor's answer:
Considering it might be balanitis, which is an inflammation caused by smegma, you can take anti-inflammatory medication, use a mild saline solution to wash, or receive intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment. It is recommended to develop the habit of cleaning the penis every night, promptly removing dirt, and frequently retracting the foreskin to keep the coronal sulcus dry and clean. I believe most people know that impotence can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid foods. Maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
