What to do if male foreskin is swollen

There are many kinds of diseases, which are classified into many categories according to different standards. According to the speed of onset, they are divided into acute diseases and chronic diseases, according to the place of onset, they are divided into internal injuries and external injuries, and according to the body parts, they are divided into brain diseases, orthopedics, etc. However, there are two kinds of diseases that are not like other diseases. You can go to the hospital openly. Many people are ashamed to talk about these diseases. Some people even endure them alone, and finally develop a serious disease. This is male disease. The foreskin is a part of the body that is prone to disease. So, what should men do if the foreskin is swollen?

Foreskin edema is one of the complications that may be caused by foreskin being too long. It is more common in young men. Many male friends do not pay much attention to the hygiene of their penis in daily life, which makes the incidence of foreskin edema remain at a high level. 1. Not paying attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia. Due to the busy work and bad habits of male friends, they do not have much time to pay attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia, so they are easily invaded by bacteria. Since the sebaceous glands of the foreskin of young male friends usually secrete more vigorously, if male friends do not pay attention to cleaning the external genitalia, or do not turn the foreskin up when cleaning, the secretions of the sebaceous glands of the foreskin will accumulate under the foreskin, thus forming smegma like tofu dregs. Smegma culture bacteria cause foreskin edema. 2. Caused by masturbation injury. Young men often masturbate because of their strong sexual desire. Sometimes, due to excessively rough masturbation, the foreskin may be damaged to varying degrees. Because of the high excitement during masturbation, the damage is relatively small and may not be noticed, but the wound on the foreskin is easily contaminated by bacteria, causing foreskin edema. The wound on the foreskin is easily contaminated by bacteria, which can cause foreskin edema.

Foreskin edema is a swollen and painful phenomenon of the foreskin. Generally, men with long foreskin or phimosis are most likely to have foreskin edema, especially men with phimosis. Foreskin edema in men can easily cause glans necrosis, so the only way to cure it is to undergo circumcision, but edema may also occur after circumcision. Usually, the symptoms will subside 3 days after the circumcision, and the wound will heal in 7-10 days. However, during this period, you must be careful not to have "lustful" thoughts to avoid some physiological reactions in the penis, which may cause inflammation of the wound. Generally, you can have normal sexual life about one month after the operation. The reason why edema occurs after circumcision is that circumcision destroys the blood circulation in the foreskin, thus causing edema. This is normal and there is no need to worry too much. Because the blood circulation in the frenulum is relatively abundant, the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in the skin are cut off after the operation, and new return pathways are established, resulting in poor return, which requires a period of recovery. Generally, mild edema of the glans penis 3-4 days after circumcision is very common. Therefore, it will disappear on its own if you pay attention to maintenance. It should be noted that the time for edema to disappear varies from person to person.

Through the above explanation, we know that male foreskin edema is not a particularly serious disease, and male friends who suffer from this disease do not need to be too nervous. Keep a good attitude and pay more attention to it in daily life. Generally, the edema will disappear on its own in 2 to 3 weeks. If you are really worried, you don’t need to be embarrassed. You should go to the hospital to let the doctor take a look. The hospital is a place to treat diseases. Don’t delay seeing a doctor because you are embarrassed.
