Patient's question:
I have mild balanitis. Yesterday, I had sex with a girl without a condom. I want to know what sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) I might have contracted and what the probability of getting an STD is (she said she didn't have any, but I don't trust it). What should I do about my mild balanitis?Doctor's answer:
If you don't have a condom, there is a possibility of infection with sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonorrhea, syphilis, or AIDS. You can go to the hospital for a thorough examination of your secretions, blood tests, Mycoplasma, syphilis, and HIV tests. If there are no problems, you don't need to worry. In the future, try to avoid high-risk sexual behavior again. Balanitis can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow and prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and use the medication properly. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
