What to do if the frenulum is red and swollen

Redness and swelling of the frenulum is a common disease in men. This disease has a great impact on men. If it is not handled properly, it will directly affect the good sex life between couples. Therefore, male friends also pay special attention to this disease. Many people are learning about this disease, hoping that they can recover soon and return to a happy life. Then let's take a look at the specific cause of this disease.

Causes of red and swollen foreskin: Red and swollen foreskin is a common condition for men. Because the glans penis cannot be exposed and is wrapped by the foreskin for a long time, it will cause a large number of bacteria to grow over time. This is one of the causes of chronic prostatitis. Experts at Wuhan Modern Urology Hospital attribute its causes to the following:

Causes of red and swollen foreskin 1. Balanitis: It can be caused by unclean sex life and excessive foreskin. Not paying attention to the hygiene of the external genitals. If you do not pay attention to regular cleaning of the external genitals, or do not turn the foreskin up when cleaning, the secretions of the sebaceous glands of the foreskin will accumulate under the foreskin, forming smegma that looks like tofu dregs. Smegma is a good culture medium for bacteria. If it is not removed in time, it will easily induce balanitis.

The second reason for redness and swelling of the foreskin is genital infection: infection with Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, fungi, Gonorrhea or other bacteria can cause it.

The third reason for red and swollen foreskin is that the foreskin is too long or phimosis: If the foreskin is too long or phimosis, the secretions of the sebaceous glands in the foreskin cannot be discharged, and the sebum and the sediment in the urine will synthesize the cheese-like and smelly smegma. Due to the chronic stimulation of long-term urine and smegma, the local foreskin and mucosa may be induced to become inflamed, resulting in red and swollen foreskin. From the perspective of preventing infection and improving the quality of sexual life, circumcision surgery should be performed as soon as possible.

If it is just redness and swelling at the beginning, then you can recover with good care. During this period, hygiene is particularly important. If you can do a good job of care in all aspects, you can recover completely. However, if the situation is serious, it is impossible to recover by care, and surgery may be required for recovery. In any case, you must understand your condition clearly and receive treatment as soon as possible.
