Patient's question:
Doctor, please help me take a look at my penis to see if it shows any signs of sexually transmitted diseases such as genital warts, herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, or AIDS. I've had sex with a woman who is not a virgin. Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination and urgency. Other than that, I don't feel any other discomfort—it's just that there are red spots and bumps on my glans, and the top of my glans feels a bit white and bubbly (please refer to the picture, I've circled the specific areas). It looks a bit wrinkled. Is this a sexually transmitted disease or just glans inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Syphilis, genital herpes, and other conditions primarily manifest as recurrent ulcers, blisters, or cauliflower-like warts in the genital area. If you don’t have symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases like genital warts, there’s no need to panic. Regularly clean and pay attention to local hygiene, and reduce sexual activity. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the occurrence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek appropriate treatment promptly.
