Genital swelling, redness, and yellow discharge from the urethral opening - what should be done?

Patient's question:

1、Three days ago, discomfort in the lower body, severe redness and swelling of the genitalia, and yellowish-white discharge from the urethral orifice
2、Long foreskin, previously had mild infection, which resolved the next day without causing much attention
3、No unsafe sexual contact

Doctor's answer:

This situation may be due to phimosis, which refers to the prepuce covering the urethral meatus but can be retracted to expose the urethral meatus and glans penis, often accompanied by balanitis. Phimosis can lead to premature ejaculation. Consider undergoing circumcision, which can reduce the incidence of penile cancer. I believe most people are aware of the significant harm urinary tract infections can cause to men, so it's 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.
