Patient's question:
Six weeks ago, I had unprotected sex for two days, and my glans became uncomfortable with some symptoms of balanitis, but there hasn't been any discomfort since then. It's just a bit red. One day, I suddenly noticed several growths on my corona. I don't remember if I had noticed them before. I took a white test, which was negative. The doctor couldn't confirm what it was. I wanted a pathology test, but the doctor said it was too small and feared it might interfere with the accuracy. I also had an HVP typing test, where the growths were swabbed with a label. I went to a third-tier hospital and saw two doctors, both professors, but neither could confirm what it was. One said it shouldn't be growing in that area, while the other said it didn't look like much but wasn't entirely sure. What should I do after the balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Your test results are fine. It could be something like pseudocondyloma or Fordyce spots. It's recommended to follow up and monitor carefully. As long as the growths don't expand, there's no need to address them at the moment. If it were genital warts, the wart tissue could be detected in the test, but your result is negative, so there's no issue. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it's important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, maintain a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
