Patient's question:
Is this balanitis or a sexually transmitted disease? I had unprotected sex yesterday, please clarify, thank youDoctor's answer:
According to your description of the issue and the pictures, your situation is considered to have a high-risk exposure. Treatment reference: In this case, it is necessary to test for HIV and syphilis antibodies six weeks after the exposure. If the results are negative, it can be ruled out. The current symptoms are balanitis, and local creams and ointments should be applied twice daily. In addition, during the treatment of balanitis, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary interference in the complete recovery of balanitis.
