Patient's question:
I am 20 years old this year, I have a girlfriend, and we need to have many sexual relationships again. Recently, I feel a bit itchy down there, but at first I didn't care much. Today, I noticed that my glans is infected and there is pus discharge. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
General urinary tract infections and balanitis will never reappear with symptoms of purulent discharge from the glans. Such severe symptoms are highly likely to be caused by sexually transmitted infections, especially non-gonococcal urethritis and syphilis. It is crucial to visit a hospital as soon as possible for secretion testing and training to identify the specific cause, particularly the pathogen. Additionally, both partners must undergo thorough examinations and simultaneous treatment. During the treatment period, sexual activity must be avoided to prevent cross-infection and recurring relapses.
