Long-term redness and swelling of the urethral meatus

Patient's question:

Six months ago, a small blister appeared at the urethral opening, which was very painful and soon burst, causing redness and swelling at the urethral opening. Small ulcers also appeared on the inner side of the foreskin, which later healed. Now, the urethral opening is persistently red and swollen, and there are several small bumps (very small). There is also a sensation of itching and discomfort.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your condition is generally considered to be caused by a urinary tract infection. If the symptoms are not severe, it is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, take warm water sit baths to increase blood circulation and relieve inflammation, and avoid eating irritating or easily irritating foods. If there are still other symptoms, it is still better to seek medical treatment.
