Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my testicles, and this week I've also had a fever. Normally, I often feel cold, and when I take a shower, I feel like there's a lot of liquid inside my testicles. Could you please explain what balanitis is?Doctor's answer:
Gonococcal urethritis refers to the inflammation of the glans mucosa occurring again. In clinical diagnosis, it is divided into acute and chronic gonococcal urethritis. The symptoms of acute gonococcal urethritis are primarily manifested as follows: initially, local redness, redness and swelling of the penis skin, and a sense of heat and itching in the glans. Turning the foreskin over, it can be seen that the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans are congested, with exudate or even broken skin. After secondary infection, small ulcers can be seen, with foul-smelling creamy purulent discharge. Pain is felt when rubbing against underwear. Therefore, it is recommended that you seek medical attention promptly to undergo a thorough examination and treatment.
