Patient's question:
Six months ago, there was a protected sexual encounter. In the morning, a red spot appeared on the foreskin, and the erection was quite noticeable. How might there be a possibility of having genital warts or other sexually transmitted diseases?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it should have little to do with genital warts. Please take a close look to see if there are many warts on the surface. Generally, these small red spots are most likely caused by inflammation, possibly manifesting as balanitis. You can pay attention to maintaining good hygiene and applying some anti-inflammatory ointment. Since the foreskin is long, the condition tends to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention promptly at a professional and reputable hospital, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be observed.
