Patient's question:
I got into a relationship with my girlfriend in February this year. After spending a few months together, we felt good about it, so we started living together and had sexual relations in August. At first, we had sex three or four times a day, and we didn’t use condoms during any of the encounters. Recently, I’ve noticed small bumps on my glans and foreskin, which don’t hurt or itch. What should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
The causes of this condition can be attributed to sexual activity and prolonged foreskin. It may be caused by infections from Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, E. coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, fungi, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria. Alternatively, if the foreskin is prolonged and hygiene is insufficient, the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, can irritate the local foreskin and mucosa, leading to inflammation. It is recommended to consult a department of infectious diseases for a clear diagnosis to facilitate timely and appropriate treatment. Avoid smoking, alcohol consumption, and other unhealthy habits. This type of urological condition is difficult to cure.
