Is the swollen foreskin is permanent?

In most cases, a swollen foreskin is temporary and will resolve on its own with proper hygiene and treatment. However, if the swelling persists for more than a few weeks or becomes severe, it is important to seek medical attention to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment. Here are some possible reasons why the swelling may persist:

Phimosis: Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin becomes too tight and cannot be retracted over the glans of the penis. This can cause the foreskin to become swollen and painful, and it may require treatment such as circumcision (surgical removal of the foreskin) to correct.

Balanitis: Balanitis is an inflammation of the glans of the penis, which can be caused by infection, poor hygiene, or other conditions. Balanitis can cause the foreskin to become red, swollen, and itchy, and it is typically treated with antibiotics or antifungal medications.

Paraphimosis: Paraphimosis is a condition in which the foreskin becomes trapped behind the glans of the penis and cannot be pulled back into place. This can be a medical emergency and requires immediate medical attention, as it can lead to tissue damage and infection.

If you are experiencing a swollen foreskin that does not resolve within a few weeks or is accompanied by other symptoms such as pain, discharge, or fever, it is important to see a doctor to determine the cause and receive proper treatment.
