Patient's question:
A week ago, I had sex with my girlfriend without a condom and noticed bruising on my foreskin. Since then, my glans has been itchy, and my foreskin has swelled. I used Jie'eryin and ointment for four days. Now the itching is almost gone, but the front of my foreskin is red and dry. Also, the front of my foreskin feels narrower, and when I pull it up, it feels tight, which wasn't the case before. Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
You may be experiencing symptoms caused by a bacterial infection. It is recommended that you take Cefixime dispersible tablets and Amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium orally for treatment. In daily life, it is important to avoid unsafe sexual practices. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
