Patient's question:
After each time having sex with my husband, when he urinates, he feels pain in his penis and finds it difficult to urinate. Could you please ask the doctor if this is normal?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to check for the possibility of orchitis and epididymitis, as well as for conditions such as spermatic cord inflammation and seminal vesiculitis. Pay attention to reducing sexual activity and quitting masturbation, avoiding spicy foods, and abstaining from alcohol. Identify the cause and seek treatment.Recommendations:
(1) Pay attention to local hygiene. Wash the glans and foreskin daily. If the foreskin is too long, seek timely treatment, and consider circumcision if necessary. It is very important to clean the foreskin regularly.
(2) Avoid unprotected sex and maintain a clean lifestyle.
(3) If one partner has a genital disease, sexual activity should be paused, and timely treatment should be sought. If the infection is caused by trichomoniasis or Candida, both partners should be treated simultaneously.
(4) For acute balanoposthitis, avoid using corticosteroid creams to prevent more severe infections.
(5) If ulcers or erosion develop, change the medication promptly, twice daily, to avoid discomforting irritation.
