Patient's question:
After sex, nothing was noticed; today, a slight itch was felt, and then red spots were discovered. Now, there's still itching and a bit of swelling. What medicine should be used for red spots on the foreskin after sex?Doctor's answer:
In your situation, it may be possible that you have balanitis (inflammation of the glans penis). There are several reasons that can cause red spots on the glans, including infectious factors such as sexual intercourse, which may transmit Candida albicans, trichomonas, chlamydia, mycoplasma, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria. Non-infectious factors are often due to excessive foreskin, insufficient hygiene, or the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, which can irritate the foreskin and mucous membranes, leading to further inflammation. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a detailed examination and timely treatment. Additionally, for patients with urological conditions, diet and care during treatment are also very important. Patients should pay close attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm.
