Patient's question:
Three days after sexual intercourse a week ago, there were red bumps on the glans. Now the testicles are itchy, the frenulum is itchy, and there is peeling and wounds on the foreskin. Is this syphilis or other sexually transmitted diseases? Why?Doctor's answer:
It should be balanitis, possibly caused by a fungal infection or transmitted by other pathogens. You can try using Jieryin, Fuyanjie, or potassium permanganate for cleaning and scrubbing. Pay attention not to have sexual contact in the near future; it should improve within a week. You can also undergo a sexually transmitted disease examination. The testicles can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used according to the symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
