Patient's question:
Previously, based on the symptoms mentioned online, I thought I had balanitis. Two days ago, I had sex with my girlfriend, assuming it had healed. However, on the third day, it immediately flared up again. In the past few days, there's no pain or itching on the head of my penis, but there are horizontal lines resembling cracks that haven't actually opened. I'm not very keen on going to the hospital. What should I do now?Doctor's answer:
I suggest you still need to do some thorough checks on this matter as soon as possible. His condition is definitely still very related to your infection. Additionally, I suggest you check your girlfriend to see if she has any gynecological diseases. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, during the treatment period, it is recommended to develop good living habits and maintain a proper diet.
