Patient's question:
Itching of the foreskin, a row of red spots at the base of the glans near the coronal sulcus, usually just a slight itching sensation and discomfort, itchy when retracting the foreskin or during bathing, washing the glans and foreskin. Had protected sex with a condom half a month ago, developed these symptoms a week later.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Based on the symptoms you described, it is possible that you may have conditions such as balanitis or posthitis. Balanitis is generally related to infections of the reproductive and urinary systems. The specific causative organism usually requires a diagnosis by a medical expert through physical examination combined with relevant auxiliary tests. Balanoposthitis is characterized by local redness, swelling, papules, and ulcers. In some cases, bacteria can spread along the urethra into deeper parts of the body, potentially affecting the prostate, seminal vesicles, epididymis, testicles, and other male reproductive organs.
