Patient's question:
For a while, it may accompany pain sensations in the lower abdomen, perineum, and hip area. When the pain occurs, sweat all over the body. What are the symptoms of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Gonococcal urethritis initially presents with local redness, a sensation of heat and itching. Gonococcal urethritis is usually transmitted through unprotected sexual contact or caused by excessive foreskin, inadequate hygiene, and the irritation of dirty substances between the foreskin and glans leading to inflammation. Clinical diagnosis primarily manifests as dampness, redness, swelling, heat, and pain on the glans and foreskin, with symptoms worsening after friction, accompanied by symptoms such as urgency and dysuria. If left untreated, the glans and foreskin may develop secondary erosion and ulcers, accompanied by creamy, foul-smelling purulent discharge. In severe cases, gangrene may occur, along with conditions like prostatitis and infertility. It is recommended to visit a urology hospital for examination to identify the cause before treatment.
