Patient's question:
Recently, my penis has frequently appeared many painful symptoms. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was the symptoms of primary syphilis of the glans and glansitis. What are the differences between them?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of balanitis are different from those of syphilis. If it is balanitis, topical creams or oral antibiotics can be used for treatment. However, if it is syphilis, it is important to seek medical examination and treatment promptly. The symptoms of syphilis are quite noticeable, but they can also cause severe physical symptoms, potentially leading to redness and swelling of the penis, or a burning and itchy sensation on the glans. It may also result in increased secretions or the development of local erosion.
