Patient's question:
Hello, today I experienced an erection of the penis. I masturbated a few times, and near the corona, there was congestion with dilated capillaries. I accidentally broke it a few times, and there was a small patch of bruising that didn’t go away. There was no external bleeding. What should I do? I don’t want to go to the doctor. Will it heal 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 mild salt water for washing, 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.
