Patient's question:
Two months ago, there was a red dot the size of a large grain of rice at the crown of the glans. Taking cefadroxil slightly reduced it. A few days ago, the glans and foreskin became itchy, with mild redness and swelling reappearing. Now, the glans is peeling, oozing blood with a rusty appearance, while the foreskin is swollen, red, and has yellow pus on its surface. The glans is extremely painful to touch. What should I do about the redness, swelling, peeling, bleeding of the glans, and the ulceration and pus formation of the foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Considering your condition is balanitis, if you have had unsafe sexual contact, it is necessary to rule out gonorrhea. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for diagnosis, and targeted treatment for balanitis can be carried out under the guidance of experts. If it is gonorrhea, it is necessary to consider using better technology for treatment. Moreover, since there is sexual activity, both partners must be treated to prevent transmission to family members. The condition of redness and swelling of the glans is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek diagnosis from professional and regular hospitals and consider treatment based on test results. Additionally, proper diet should be maintained, and sexual activity should be avoided.
