Patient's question:
Gonococcal urethritis, foreskin swelling with hard lumps when pressed, a hard, cord-like sensation on the penis when touched, pain when pinched, and hard lumps the size of peanuts on the right side.Doctor's answer:
Based on your current situation description, it is considered that the issue may be caused by balanitis. The mention of enlarged blood vessels on the penis suggests the possibility of penile venous varicosity. Currently, it is still recommended that you first treat the affected area with povidone-iodine for sterilization to address the balanitis. Generally, if there is no particular discomfort, penile venous varicosity is usually not a concern. Additionally, during the treatment of balanitis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm.
