Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I had sex with my girlfriend, and there were no symptoms before. However, in the afternoon the next day, I noticed small red spots on the head of my penis, with a slightly raised sensation, and a feeling of tightness in the foreskin. Could this be due to unsafe sex or is there another cause? Follow-up question 1: A week ago, I started having normal sex life, using condoms most of the time, but sometimes I didn't wear one. I didn't wear it because she had just finished her period. Follow-up question 2: It should not be the case, especially since we've been having normal sex for a week, it doesn't make sense for it to appear today. I looked at other questions on the website, and most of them are similar to unsafe sex.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is considered to be balanoposthitis. During the onset of balanoposthitis, symptoms may include redness and swelling of the foreskin and glans, along with purulent discharge from the foreskin opening. If the foreskin is retracted, you may observe congestion and swelling of the inner foreskin and glans, with possible small ulcers or erosions in severe cases, accompanied by purulent fluid. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for relevant examinations to identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
