Patient's question:
Painful urination for a week, thought it was gonorrhea, but there was too little discharge, making collection difficult. But today, the pain is gone, and the swelling has subsided. Do I still need to go to the hospital for treatment?Doctor's answer:
It could be urethritis or non-gonococcal urethritis, among other possibilities. You can go to the hospital for some thorough examinations and then get treated. Local public hospitals' dermatology departments can provide follow-up treatment. First diagnose, then treat. Avoid unsafe sexual practices. The redness and swelling of the glans can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor, use medication appropriately, and the patient should also maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
