Patient's question:
After wearing a condom for half a month, I developed balanitis. My penis feels warm, but now there's no sensation, though sometimes it turns red. There are no growths on my penis. Could it be syphilis? High-risk balanitis without growths is syphilis?Doctor's answer:
Syphilis can cause abnormal discharge and growths. Wearing a condom is not a major issue, but if you're not sure, you can go to the hospital for a blood test. As for balanitis, cleaning the head of the penis twice a day will improve the condition significantly. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it's prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it's crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor, use medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet. Avoid spicy foods, smoking, and drinking beer.
