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 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 tertiary hospital? If infected with Neisseria gonorrhoeae, mycoplasma, or chlamydia, would there be any symptoms?

Doctor's answer:

Penicillin and metronidazole can be used for symptomatic treatment. Change underwear frequently, drink more water, and avoid spicy and irritating foods like chili peppers. Keep the area clean and dry, and actively pursue anti-inflammatory treatment. Phimosis can be stabilized with proper treatment, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet. Avoid spicy foods, smoking, and drinking beer.
