Patient's question:
I have a small sore on my corona, which doesn't hurt or itch. There is a little discharge from the sore, and it feels slightly painful when touched. I went to the hospital for a urine test, which ruled out HIV and syphilis. Under the doctor's guidance, I have been using a wash for five days. The sore has already improved, with no discharge anymore, but the wound seems to break easily upon contact.Hello, how long will it take to heal completely? Can I have sexual activity?
Doctor's answer:
From what you described, it should be a second-degree neuron ulcer of the glans. The most important thing to pay attention to is maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in the glans area. You should wash it daily with slightly warm water, just enough, and avoid forceful contact. It should take about a week to heal. Engaging in sexual activity before full recovery not only interferes with the healing process but may also cause inflammation to the partner. There are many treatment methods for balanitis, but since the symptoms vary among patients, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as they notice symptoms.
