Patient's question:
After wearing a condom for half a month, I developed balanitis. My penis feels warm, but now there's no sensation, but sometimes it turns red. There's nothing growing on my penis. Could I have syphilis? High-risk balanitis with no growth on the penis 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 gently in the morning and evening 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, it's crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet. Avoid spicy foods, smoking, and drinking beer.
