What medicine should I use for foreskin edema?

If foreskin edema occurs, it is most likely caused by bacterial infection. In this case, the most important thing is to find out the cause of the disease and then carry out targeted treatment. In this way, the effect will be better. In addition, some medicines should be applied, which can make the condition improve more quickly and relieve the patient's pain to a certain extent.

The foreskin refers to the double layer of skin covering the glans penis. In infants and young children, the foreskin is longer and covers the penis, making the glans penis and the external opening of the urethra invisible. It is a physiological foreskin. With the growth of age, the penis and foreskin gradually develop. During puberty, the foreskin retracts backwards, and the glans penis is exposed in adulthood. However, in about 30% of adults, the foreskin completely covers the glans penis.

Foreskin refers to the outer layer of skin covering the male penis, glans penis and urethra. Due to congenital reasons or improper protection, some adverse symptoms often occur. Today, we will introduce the adverse symptoms of foreskin and how to deal with them.

1. Foreskin is too long: Foreskin is too long and dirt is easily accumulated, resulting in balanitis. When dirt accumulates under the skin for a long time, it will form stones, and hard lumps can be felt under the foreskin.

2. Tight foreskin opening: Part of the foreskin may get stuck in the penile cleft due to penis erection, causing local swelling and pain. Some diabetic patients, due to repeated balanitis, have scarring and thickening of the foreskin, narrowing of the foreskin opening, and are prone to foreskin getting stuck in the penile cleft behind the glans penis, causing discomfort.

3. The foreskin is too small: also called foreskin. When urinating, the urine flow is as thin as a thread, the foreskin bulges, and even urination becomes difficult.

If the foreskin is too long, it should be frequently turned up and cleaned. There is no need to force surgery. If the foreskin is repeatedly inflamed, the foreskin is narrow, or the opening is too small, circumcision can be performed. As long as the treatment is timely, it will be cured quickly.

If the foreskin secretions are not cleaned in time, they will accumulate over time and form smegma. The foreskin secretions have anti-inflammatory and bacteriolytic effects, but if personal hygiene is not taken seriously and they are not cleaned for a long time, they can easily breed bacteria and induce diseases. The one-sided propaganda that the foreskin is harmful but has no benefits is wrong.
