Patient's question:
Because of poor personal hygiene, I developed balanoposthitis. Then I went to a tertiary hospital, and the doctor prescribed a lotion to wash it. After a week, the redness and pain subsided, but the urethra and testicles started to itch and hurt. Then I went to the hospital again. Could balanoposthitis cause these symptoms?Doctor's answer:
As long as the chlamydia has healed on its own, it will never cause an outbreak, so there's no need to worry. It is recommended to focus on oral administration of levofloxacin capsules for anti-inflammatory treatment and seek diagnosis and treatment from the urology department at the hospital. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to immediately seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking and pay attention to personal hygiene.
