Patient's question:
During the treatment of balanitis, there are currently two small red spots on one side of the inner wall of the urethral orifice, which are not itchy or painful. The routine urinalysis is normal, and there is no discharge from the urethral orifice. How can the discharge be used to culture Neisseria gonorrhoeae, mycoplasma, and chlamydia? How long does it usually take to get the results? What is the approximate cost at a formal Grade A hospital?Doctor's answer:
If you don't have symptoms, there's no need to get a thorough check for gonorrhea. Gonorrhea is the basis for checking how gonorrhea is transmitted, but if you have gonorrhea, you should experience symptoms, with purulent discharge from the urethral opening. The secretion refers to purulent discharge, and there's no need to check for balanitis. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, for male patients, it's important to immediately go to a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the test results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
