Patient's question:
I started experiencing pain during urination and a discharge of pus at the beginning of the month. I bought levofloxacin, and later developed a swollen foreskin, so I used potassium permanganate baths. Now it's mostly healed, except for a little pus. I've noticed a recurrence of weak ejaculation. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Painful urination, purulent discharge. Currently, apart from some pus, sexual activity is not advisable! Given your condition, the balanitis should be almost healed, but the urethra still needs dedicated treatment in addition to the pus. This interference is quite significant for patients with balanitis. Timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence, while delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment, and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
