Patient's question:
The foreskin and glans are severely red and swollen, with ulcers on the foreskin and initial leakage. There is purulent discharge and intense itching. Could this be acute edematous balanitis? How should it be treated?First follow-up question: Are there any Western medicine treatments, or topical medications available?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the situation you mentioned is severe edema, you should go to the hospital for a check-up. Do you have an issue where the foreskin is too long and cannot be returned to its original position after being pulled back? If so, you should ask the doctor to retract it. If not, we often use disinfectant for external washing and oral anti-inflammatory medication. The condition you described is quite severe, so you should first go to the hospital for a check-up before starting treatment.
