Patient's question:
For a while now, I've noticed that my glans is particularly dry, and it seems to have some flaky stuff falling off, like dandruff. I also feel itchy and painful. Is this balanitis? Please ask: What does early-stage balanitis look like?Doctor's answer:
Gonococcal urethritis Early local redness of the glans in male friends, redness and swelling of the skin, a burning and itchy sensation in the glans, and when flipped inside the foreskin, it can be seen that there is congestion and purulent discharge in the foreskin, with even broken skin. If not treated in time, small ulcers or foul-smelling creamy purulent secretions may occur. The early stage is the best time to treat gonococcal urethritis. If professional treatment is implemented at this time, the condition can be quickly controlled and prevent more severe consequences from developing. This can minimize the harm and allow for a rapid recovery. The condition of gonococcal urethritis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication.
