Patient's question:
I had a bit of itchy foreskin recently and noticed a few small red spots. I bought Yunjie Yang Juyin spray from outside and used it for a few days, but it didn’t help with the swelling or pain. Then I used Fuyanjie, which I definitely shouldn’t have. It made my foreskin red and swollen, so I took anti-inflammatory medication and went to the hospital. The doctor said it was balanoposthitis. My urethra didn’t hurt, and there was no discharge, but I felt like something was coming out of the urethral opening when I slept on my stomach, and it was very itchy. The doctor said it was nothing and prescribed potassium permanganate solution. I felt like I had to take anti-inflammatory medication, so I continued with levofloxacin. But every time it was about to get better, the urethral opening would itch, and the condition would flare up again. I went to another hospital, and they suggested I get a circumcision. They prescribed Youkeshi liquid, cefclor sustained-release tablets, and Ningmitai capsules. After taking them for two days, it’s still the same—itchy urethral opening with small spots, and it looks like red patches under the sun, but it’s very mild. As long as the urethral opening isn’t itchy, I’m fine.Doctor's answer:
It is possible that you may have non-gonococcal urethritis. I don't know how you have extramarital sex. You should go to the hospital for a detailed examination to confirm the diagnosis and then receive effective treatment. Rest more, eat a light diet, and drink plenty of water. Pay attention to clean and hygienic sexual life. The condition of balanitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly at a professional and regular hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
