What to do during the treatment of balanitis?

Patient's question:

During the treatment of balanitis, there are two small red spots on one side of the inner wall of the urethral orifice now. They are not itchy or painful, and the urinalysis is normal. There is no discharge from the urethral orifice. How can I culture Neisseria gonorrhoeae, mycoplasma, and chlamydia using discharge? How long does it usually take to get the results? What is the approximate cost at a formal Grade A hospital? If I am infected with Neisseria gonorrhoeae, mycoplasma, or chlamydia, will there be any symptoms?

Doctor's answer:

Penicillin and metronidazole can be used for symptomatic treatment. Change underwear frequently, drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy and irritating foods like chili peppers. Maintain cleanliness and dryness in the affected area. Active anti-inflammatory treatment can stabilize balanitis, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment plan, appropriate medication, and a light diet without spicy foods, smoking, or drinking beer are essential.
