Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: There are red spots and erosion on the glans, similar to peeling.Sometimes it swells on its own, turns red, and the inner foreskin may become red, swollen, and secrete fluid. Sometimes there is a slight itching sensation, but it doesn’t last long. There are no other symptoms. Recently, the foreskin and glans swelled severely, with pus discharge and intense itching. After two days, the symptoms improved, but there was still some leakage between the foreskin and glans. The lymph nodes in the back of the right thigh can be felt. It’s not very convenient to go to the hospital for examination. I hope everyone can help!
I want to know what disease my symptoms are?
Doctor's answer:
The glans is swollen and purulent, and your condition is likely to be balanoposthitis. It is often caused by friction from underwear, trauma, or local irritation from soap or cleaning agents. Symptoms include edema, redness, exudation, and erosion. Secondary infection may lead to purulent discharge, easily forming ulcers, accompanied by pain. If you have a history of unsafe sex, the possibility of a sexually transmitted disease cannot be ruled out. It is recommended that you do not take medication blindly and seek timely medical examination at a formal hospital. After a clear diagnosis, follow the doctor's advice for treatment to ensure early recovery. During the treatment period, pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and abstain from smoking and alcohol.
