Patient's question:
Ten days ago, I had a smegma dilation, and now my foreskin is infected with swelling. It's swollen and red. What should the doctor do? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
In cases of phimosis, the glans penis is always covered by the foreskin and must be manually retracted to be exposed. Phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin cannot be retracted to reveal the glans, even with manual assistance. In such cases, it is more prone to the accumulation of smegma. As everyone knows, phimosis and paraphimosis 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 habits, with a focus on a light diet and avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
