Thanks for your information. My situation didn't go bad in these two days and it turns better. Although when I swab on the small rash, I still feel a little bit itchy. I also told the situation to my family and they also reassured me and supported me. All the best and will keep u updated
Thanks for the information. I've got an appointment with my doctor on Tuesday next week and I will ask him to take a sample.
Our condition may be nothing at all but for me I would rather get past the constant worrying phase ...and get tested for all the STD's. If I get peace of mind it would help me mentally. If positive then I suppose one can start to monitor the cause. In my opinion it isn't good to be ignorant for one self and future partners. But that is just my opinion. Not everyone has the same outlook.
He gave me a cotton swabs and told me to rotate it on my glans for a few times. Then he gave me a ointment called neomycin for me. He told me to apply it in the morning and at night on the rash. He reassured me that the rash indeed not serious. By still I'm very worried atm And yes I will keep you guys updated
How did he take a sample? and please do keep us informed on what the cause of Balanitis is (if you don't mind that is). Thanks.
can u eleaborate a bit more? Im sorry that I'm super worried now that I could not sleep and any single comment you guys leave do impact me quite a lot.... Thanks all once again and yes definitely lesson learnt and will never attempt such stupid action ever
Also for your information, my penis got rubbed yesterday night due to masturbation yesterday night. Also I've been excessively cleaning my foreskin area these days during shower, will these be the reasons for the balanitis?
Thanks for your reply. However just now I went to see the doctor because I found the foreskin of my penis turns a little bit red although it is not itchy. I immediately consulted the doctor and revelaed my past sex history (including this stupid act). He interpreted this as balanitis (which I had before). I asked is it a sign of getting herpes or gonorrhea but he said most likely no. The reason is that i didn't feel any burning sensation during urination nor I felt any abnormal sensations on my genital area in these ten days. However im still very scared. Is it possible for one to get mild balanitis from sexual activities? Or is it possible that the balanitis is one of the std symptoms? I am even more worried now and decided to take a full test after 21 days of my exposure ( as suggested by my doctor)
*3 month period (stupid mobile!!!!)
I would wait at least 28 days (unless you are presenting with symtoms) from the encounter to get tested for STD's and then again after the 3 period from exposure to be 100% sure of the results.
I hope it goes well.
Thanks for ur reply. I will still visit a doctor tomorrow to check. I will update my results of testing here so that the others can also make them as references.
The only risk here is possible HSV1 exposure. But i doubt you contracted it from a one time encounter.
Don't let paranoia beat you down. I know how you feel. Not sure, if you made the right move, contemplating the scenario over and over convincing yourself that you made a cautious.
Go in peace. If you still feal unsure take a STI screening in a few months.
