What ointment is good for swollen foreskin?

The foreskin is a tissue on the male reproductive organ, which wraps around the outside of the male reproductive organ. It is relatively important to men, but it is also possible for it to have some problems. When problems occur, they should be treated in time to prevent more serious consequences. For example, if the foreskin is swollen, we can treat it with some medicines, but many people don’t know its designated ointment. So what ointment is good for swollen foreskin?

1. There are many reasons for male foreskin swelling. For example, if the patient has foreskin that is too long or phimosis, it is often related to local inflammation or friction, excessive masturbation, forced retraction of the foreskin, etc. This situation generally does not require oral medication for treatment, and external medication for disinfection can be sufficient.

2 It is recommended that foreskin swelling can be soaked in warm 1:5000 potassium permanganate, and then some anti-inflammatory ointment can be applied externally. If the swelling is not very serious, you can also directly buy some iodine tincture and rub the affected area to prevent bacterial infection.

3 In addition, if the foreskin swelling occurs after circumcision surgery, it is normal to have swelling three or four days after the surgery. This is mainly because the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels are cut off, resulting in poor blood return. It will usually recover in two to three weeks, so don’t worry. If the swelling is severe and you are worried about inflammation, you can go back for a follow-up check and let the doctor help you deal with it.

4 For patients with foreskin swelling, they must do a good job of hygiene care at ordinary times, take a bath frequently and keep their body clean; change underwear frequently to avoid bacterial growth; and pay attention to reducing masturbation and sexual intercourse; when swelling occurs, some anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately for treatment, such as erythromycin eye ointment, sulfonamide, etc.

Note:

Regardless of the cause of phimosis, patients should pay attention to care, maintain vulvar hygiene, soak and apply medicine on time if the swelling is severe, and temporarily avoid sexual intercourse. In addition, pay attention to not eating spicy food, seafood and other foods, and avoid smoking and drinking. It is quite necessary to do these well.
