Patient's question:
Reaching the inner side of the foreskin of the glans again, there appears something like an oral ulcer—is it a sexually transmitted disease? It reappears inside, about the size of green beans, with slightly darker color in the center and a slightly whitish surrounding area. Occasionally, it may itch, but after a bath, the sensation disappears. There are no abnormal secretions, and it hasn’t grown or shrunk. Moreover, I have never had sexual relations with any other.Regarding the follow-up on past treatment and its effectiveness: No treatment, no allergies, and no history of hereditary diseases. What kind of help would you like: Please help me speculate whether it could be a sexually transmitted disease.
Doctor's answer:
The symptoms you mentioned are likely caused by balanitis. It could be due to excessive foreskin or cross-infection during sexual activity with a woman who has vaginitis. It is recommended to visit the hospital for a follow-up examination promptly. You can use PP powder at a 1:5000 ratio for washing, and then apply erythromycin ophthalmic ointment externally. Pay attention to hygiene, strictly prohibit sexual activity, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. The condition of the foreskin is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on detailed examination results. Also, maintain a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
