What are the symptoms of redness and swelling of the foreskin of the penis?

The foreskin of the penis is very embarrassing, because whether there is too much foreskin or no foreskin, it is not good for men's health. As a man, you should know how to take care of your reproductive health. Some people find that their foreskin of the penis is red and swollen, but they are too shy to treat their disease in time. This is wrong. What are the symptoms of red and swollen foreskin of the penis?

Phimosis is a disease of the glans penis with the highest incidence (phthisis edema, redness and swelling of the foreskin). Almost all patients have phimosis or prepuce that is too long. Between the glans penis and the long foreskin, a warm and moist bacterial culture medium is formed due to the shed epithelial cells, glandular secretions and smegma bacteria. Once bacteria enter, they can cause inflammation. Inflammation of the glans penis and inflammation of the foreskin often exist at the same time, so they are collectively called glans penis prepuceitis.

The main cause of glans phimosis is phimosis or prepuce is too long. In addition, unclean sexual intercourse, drug stimulation or allergy are also the cause of the disease (foreskin edema, red and swollen foreskin). The symptoms of glans phimosis are redness, swelling, pain and itching of the glans penis and prepuce. Some may have erosion and ulceration, and have yellow purulent secretions with a special odor. In severe cases, glans penis necrosis may occur. Some patients develop adhesion and stenosis of the urethra after the acute phase, causing difficulty in urination. Repeated infection can cause the glans penis or prepuce to thicken and form white spots.

When taking certain drugs, allergic reactions may sometimes cause fixed edematous erythema of the foreskin to form on the glans penis or foreskin, with blisters in the center, which can cause infection after rupture. Symptoms usually occur within 24-36 hours after taking the drug, improve after stopping the drug, and reappear after taking the drug again. During the acute attack period of glans phimitis, the foreskin should be turned up, washed with 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, and then antibiotic ointment should be applied. If the foreskin cannot be turned up, it should be incised and drained. While performing local treatment, oral or injected antibiotics are required. Antiallergic drugs should also be taken if it is caused by drug allergy.

Treatment of phimosis

Phimosis is usually caused by excessive foreskin or phimosis. Therefore, it is recommended that patients should go to a regular local hospital for surgical circumcision in time so that they can enjoy a happy sex life earlier. If the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs, the accumulation of smegma may cause balanitis or glans penis 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 phimosis after sexual intercourse will be greater.

The redness and swelling of the foreskin of the penis occurs when one does not take good care of personal reproductive hygiene. Therefore, a mature man should know how to take care of his personal hygiene. Only by taking good care of it at ordinary times can one's body not hold him back at critical moments. I hope everyone understands this truth.
