Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: My girlfriend has trichomoniasis that hasn't fully healed. This time, when we had sex, she didn't use a condom. That night, I started feeling itchy on my glans. The next day, I noticed swelling of the foreskin over the glans, along with redness, small red spots, and small bumps along the corona. I took metronidazole tablets, which slightly reduced the itching, but the redness and swelling didn't go away. I also used Fuyinjie twice, but there was no improvement. What condition is this, and what treatment methods are available?
Duration of the current illness: 2 days
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your symptoms, it should be acute superficial balanitis. Generally, it is caused by excessive foreskin, where the inner lining secretions cannot be cleared promptly, allowing pathogens to grow and reproduce, leading to local inflammation with symptoms such as: redness, swelling, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and a bad odor.The solution: If it is mild, you can regularly clean with clean water or potassium permanganate solution for treatment; if it is severe, you should go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis before treatment.
