Patient's question:
I would like to consult about why the front of my foreskin is red and swollen. Recently, I had multiple unprotected sexual encounters. Over the past two days, I suddenly noticed that the front of my foreskin is red and swollen, and there are many small, dense red bumps. I'm worried that I might have contracted a sexually transmitted disease. I'm very anxious now. Please help me clarify this, doctor.Doctor's answer:
Based on your current symptoms, it seems to be a recurrence of balanitis or balanoposthitis. This can lead to symptoms such as pain, swelling, and excessive discharge. You should visit a hospital for a thorough examination. If the symptoms are severe, you may need to take oral anti-inflammatory medication for treatment. Avoid drinking beer and eating spicy foods like chili peppers. Medication should be used under the guidance of a local doctor.
