Patient's question:
Patient is male, 25 years old. Yesterday while taking a bath, he noticed some redness and swelling on the inside of his foreskin. There were also a few small blisters, which burst when he rubbed them, and he then felt some itching and pain. Now, apart from the broken skin, he is concerned about whether he might have contracted a sexually transmitted disease (STD) because he had a one-night stand a few days ago and didn’t wear a condom. He is worried about whether he might have an STD. However, he feels his foreskin is a bit long and wonders if it could be balanitis.What assistance is needed:
Hello, how can it be self-healed? If it is an STD, what should I do?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, there is a need to pay attention to the possibility of balanitis, and your external genital hygiene, skin infections, masturbation, irritant drugs, sexual activity, and long foreskin all have a significant impact. It is recommended that you pay attention to hygiene and seek a health check-up at the hospital as soon as possible. Based on the examination results, treatment should be administered. Wishing you good health! The condition of balanitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is necessary to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital as soon as possible. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be observed. Finally, wishing all patients a speedy recovery.
