Patient's question:
I have excessive foreskin, and I don't know if it will interfere with growth and development or fertility in the future. When I get an erection, the foreskin doesn't expose properly, and it also hurts during intercourse. I feel embarrassed and don't dare to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. I'm really in a dilemma, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Gonococcal orchitis initially presents with local redness, a sense of heat and itching. Gonococcal orchitis is generally transmitted through unprotected sexual contact or caused by excessive foreskin, insufficient hygiene, and the irritation of dirty substances between the foreskin and the glans leading to inflammation. Clinical diagnosis primarily manifests as dampness, redness, swelling, heat, and pain in the glans and foreskin, accompanied by symptoms such as relief after friction, urgency, and dysuria. The condition of gonococcal orchitis tends to recur frequently, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should actively seek diagnosis from professional and reputable hospitals.
