Patient's question:
I want to ask a few questions about my balanoposthitis. I have symptoms of frequent urination and urgency, but I've been with the same girlfriend for twenty years, and we've also used protection! I just want to ask, could this turn into gonorrhea?Doctor's answer:
You are suffering from a sexually transmitted disease caused by gonococcal infection. Simply having symptoms like frequent urination and urgency cannot diagnose gonorrhea. It is necessary to perform gonococcal culture while also testing for chlamydia and mycoplasma. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at professional and reputable hospitals promptly, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet should be maintained, and sexual activity should be avoided.
