Patient's question:
Earlier, there were some red spots on both sides of my thighs? They were itchy, so I bought some ointment to apply, and after that, the itching didn't bother me much. A few days ago, I had sexual intercourse, and it seems like on the third day, it became like this. I think it might be acute bacterial balanitis. The glans has itching, burning, pain, local foreskin congestion and edema, and even surface erosion with fluid leakage. I'm not sure if it is, so I'm seeking expert advice. Have I developed balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Go to the hospital for a check-up. Generally, there may be disorganization, so it is appropriate to sterilize and change dressings. It should be considered to use proper sterilization, applying topical mucosal ulcer powder or Rivanol solution, and taking oral antibiotics for treatment. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated in a timely manner, it may affect the overall health condition. Therefore, patients should take medication according to symptoms promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to prevent prolonged sitting.
