Patient's question:
High-risk condition with itchy glans, lasting for over a month. The day before yesterday, I had a test for Gram-positive coccus infection in the glans secretions at the hospital. They said it can be treated with a dehumidifying, anti-swelling, and pain-relieving wash solution. The gonococcus test was negative. Is this a sexually transmitted disease?Doctor's answer:
This is a common bacterial infection. If your gonorrhea test is negative, then you are not infected with gonorrhea. This Gram-positive bacterium is a common bacterial infection, and you can use some sterilizing, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving medications for it. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect your health. Therefore, patients should seek timely medical treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
