Patient's question:
I had some peeling and itching on my glans a while ago. I went to the hospital. Coincidentally, I have phimosis. The hospital performed a circumcision on me. They did it with a laser and removed the peeling and small bumps on my glans. Now the doctor told me I have genital herpes. What do you think about my situation?Doctor's answer:
First consideration is viral infection, which leads to herpes-like inflammation. This requires timely treatment. For this condition, it is essential to avoid sexual activity during the period, while also using acyclovir for antiviral treatment. During this time, pay attention to sterilizing clothing. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment at professional and regular hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
