Patient's question:
While taking a shower, I noticed that my glans was particularly red and swollen, but it wasn't painful at all. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the disease manifests within 10 days after sexual intercourse. The subjective symptoms include symptoms of inflammation such as dysuria, urinary urgency, urinary frequency, and a burning sensation in the urethra, but they are relatively mild and may not be present. Early treatment for gonorrhea typically requires a drug sensitivity test, followed by later implementation of gene penetration therapy. Compared to simple medication, this approach is more thorough and also involves avoiding spicy foods like chili peppers. Before undergoing complete treatment, it is best to avoid sexual activity. For patients with redness and swelling of the glans, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility.
