Patient's question:
I am 20 years old this year, I have a girlfriend, and I want to have many sexual relationships with her 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 has 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 likely to be caused by sexually transmitted infections, especially non-gonococcal urethritis and syphilis. It is necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible for secretion testing and training to identify the specific cause, particularly the pathogen. Additionally, both partners need to be examined and treated simultaneously. During treatment, sexual activity must be avoided to prevent cross-infection and recurring relapses.
