Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a physical examination half a year ago, and the doctor told me that I had tuberculosis. I am currently in the treatment phase, but recently I have been feeling discomfort in my penis and went to the hospital. The doctor told me that this is called penile condyloma. He only prescribed topical medication.Doctor's answer:
Hello, penile tuberculid (peiletuberculid) is a tuberculid that occurs on the penis and the marginal edge of the corona, which can form small ulcers and is often absorbed naturally. How should penile tuberculid be treated?(1) Treatment
1. Treatment principles primarily focus on actively improving the overall health status and enhancing the body's resistance. Systemic medications can refer to those for localized cutaneous tuberculosis.
2. The treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) should involve strengthening the spleen, invigorating qi, eliminating dampness and phlegm, and promoting blood circulation and collateral unblocking.
3. The principle of local treatment is to address symptoms, alleviate irritation, reduce inflammation, and promote absorption. Strongly irritating medications are prohibited.
(2) Prognosis
It follows a chronic course and may recur repeatedly, often accompanied by other forms of tuberculosis. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
