Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am 31 years old. My foreskin of the penis cracks again and again when I intercourse. Why?
Please guide.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concern.
If you are experiencing repeated cracking of your foreskin, there are several important steps to take.
First, it is essential to check your blood sugar levels after meals. This can help identify any underlying issues that may be contributing to your symptoms.
Next, examine your urine for possible infection. You will need to undergo a urine culture and sensitivity test. Based on the results, appropriate antibiotics can be prescribed if there is an infection.
Additionally, your partner should also get the same tests done to rule out any infections.
To help reduce the cracking of your foreskin, consider using condoms for a while. This can provide a barrier that may alleviate some discomfort.
If you experience itching of the foreskin, applying Clotrimazole skin cream before and after intercourse may provide relief. This cream can help soothe irritation and prevent further issues.
In cases that are resistant to treatment, circumcision, a minor procedure to remove the foreskin, can be considered. If you are open to this option, it is a quick procedure that can be performed by any qualified surgeon without the need for a specialized practitioner.
It is advisable to do the blood tests first and use condoms as mentioned. Both you and your partner should also avoid wearing synthetic underwear.
To further prevent infections, make sure to iron your undergarments daily to kill any lingering germs. By following these steps, you can effectively address the issue of foreskin cracking.
I hope this answers your query.
