Is balanitis likely bacterial balanitis?

Patient's question:

This condition was acquired around January to February this year. At first, it started as small, red spots the size of a needlehead, with a red, moist glans, and weak erection after arousal. It was painless and itchy, and I had started to pay little attention to it. Now, in July, it hasn't improved. On July 9th, I suddenly noticed that a small patch of redness had started to appear, along with a small, slightly white spot. It's painless and itchy. Could this be bacterial balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

Gonorrhea is generally related to perinatal urinary tract infections. The specific causative agent needs to be identified. Usually, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a physical examination by experts combined with relevant tests to diagnose balanoposthitis. The symptoms include local redness, swelling, papules, ulcers, etc., as well as phimosis. If phimosis is present, it is best to have surgery as early as possible. Additionally, attention should be paid to restricting sexual activity. Maintain a good mood.
