What is the reason for the swelling of the foreskin and the large lump? How to treat it

Patient's question:

I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Please ask, what's the matter with the swelling of the foreskin and the big lump? How to treat it

Doctor's answer:

Excision of the inner and outer foreskin. For children who cannot cooperate with local anesthesia surgery, we advocate that parents should regularly retract the foreskin and clean it to prevent the formation of smegma and phimosis. For uncircumcised children who cannot be retracted, balloon dilation can be performed in the early stage to enlarge the foreskin orifice, making it easier to retract and clean. Surgical treatment can then be considered after they grow up, depending on the situation. If the child experiences recurrent infections causing itching, redness, or even erosion of the glans, surgical excision of the excessive foreskin is necessary. This is because the excessive foreskin covers the glans, creating a moist environment that, combined with the irritation of smegma, can easily lead to bacterial growth and balanitis.
