Patient's question:
Hello, I used to have the habit of masturbation. The past two days, while taking a shower, I noticed some redness and slight bluish discoloration on my glans. When the urethral opening is touched, there is a slightly painful sensation. I want to know what this could be, is it what is known as balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in your case, there is a high possibility of balanoposthitis. If you have had unprotected sex, it is also possible to have a sexually transmitted disease. Clinically, there are many pathogens that can cause infection, such as: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Candida, etc. If this condition is not treated promptly, the condition may worsen, easily leading to gynecological diseases in sexual partners, retrograde infection causing urethritis, prostatitis, etc.Recommendation: It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination to identify the cause and condition, and then receive targeted treatment.
