What to do if foreskin edema is severe

Most men have a part of their body that is difficult to talk about but most prone to problems - the foreskin. If the foreskin is too long, it is easy for bacteria to grow, leading to various complications. If the foreskin is swollen, it is easy to cause pain problems, which in turn causes various inflammations. However, since these problems are relatively private, many male friends are also ashamed to talk about them. Minor illnesses have become major illnesses, which makes people regret it. Today, let's talk about what to do if the foreskin is seriously swollen?

Some people experience discomfort after sex, and edema of the foreskin is a common problem. This usually occurs shortly after sex, when the foreskin gradually swells, accompanied by local numbness and a heavy feeling. The edema reaches its peak within a few hours and subsides on its own after 1-2 days. There are many reasons for edema of the foreskin after sex, but the most common ones are foreskin or prepuce. As we all know, the skin of the male penis is very thin, and the skin at the head of the penis is folded inward to form a double layer, covering the penis, which is called foreskin. Prepuce is too long when the foreskin cover has no urethral opening, but can still be turned outward to expose the urethral opening and the glans penis. If the foreskin opening is narrow or adheres to the glans penis, so that the foreskin covering the penis cannot be turned up to expose the urethral opening and glans penis, it is called phimosis.

The skin and subcutaneous tissue of the foreskin are loose, and there are abundant blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in it. It belongs to the peripheral part of the body's circulation, so the speed of blood and lymph return is relatively slow, and it is a part that is prone to edema. During sexual intercourse, as the sexual intercourse proceeds, the foreskin is constantly impacted by the force of turning up, which is particularly obvious when suffering from phimosis or prepuce is too long. In this way, the skin of the penis is stimulated by severe friction, resulting in poor venous return and edema. In severe cases, it can also cause incarcerated foreskin, which needs to be reset in time to avoid necrosis. In addition, when the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs, the head of the penis is prone to dirt and filth, which together with the secretions of the glands inside the foreskin form smegma. The accumulation of smegma can cause balanitis or glans inflammation. Over time, the inflammation will shrink the foreskin opening and form adhesions with the glans penis, which will lead to acquired phimosis. After suffering from inflammation and adhesions, the chance of edema of the foreskin after sexual intercourse is greater. People with phimosis or prepuce that is too long should undergo surgery as soon as possible.

Regarding the serious problem of foreskin edema, male friends do not need to panic too much. Go to the hospital for treatment if you are sick. With the current medical level, general symptoms can be cured. Do not say you are embarrassed or anything like that. Otherwise, a minor illness will be delayed into a major illness, and it will be difficult to cure at that time. Here I would like to remind patients and friends that as long as you maintain a good attitude, follow the doctor's instructions, and pay attention to rest in your daily life, you will definitely be able to recover.
