Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Coming back to your query, have you started your own treatment? Although the picture you provided (attachment removed to protect patient identity) is of low quality, I can make out some bluish discoloration near the tip. Is that what you are referring to? Please answer few questions so I can guide you better.

  1. Have you had any history of unprotected intercourse or oral sex, or have you encountered a similar problem in the past?
  2. Have you seen this kind of discoloration after using condoms before, or can you correlate it to this time?
  3. Any history of diabetes or hypertension?

I am writing you a prescription for the complaint you described.

  1. Tablet Roliflo (Tolterodine and Tamsulosin) once daily for seven days.
  2. Syrup Citralka (Disodium hydrogen citrate) 10 ml thrice daily for seven days.
  3. Tablet Trypsin Chymotrypsin twice daily for five days.
  4. Tablet Ibuprofen 400 mg twice daily for two days.
  5. Tablet Ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice daily for five days.

Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take the medicines with their consent. Please update me with your answers.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor for the reply,

Medicines were prescribed to me by a doctor over the phone. The discoloration is located at the top of the penis glans, as shown in the picture. I have not had any sexual relationships in the past eight months. This is the first time I have noticed the discoloration; it was not there before. I have no history of diabetes. Should I discontinue the antibiotics? How many times a day should I take the prescribed medicines and for how many days?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

To avoid any confusion with the medication, I am writing the whole prescription again.

  1. Tablet Roliflo (Tolterodine and Tamsulosin) once daily for seven days.
  2. Syrup Citralka (Disodium hydrogen citrate) 10 ml thrice daily for seven days.
  3. Tablet Trypsin Chymotrypsin twice daily for five days.
  4. Tablet Ibuprofen 400 mg twice daily for two days.
  5. Tablet Ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice daily for five days.

Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take the medicines with their consent. Penile discoloration can be an incidental finding (may have been there for long), just keep a watch on the area of discoloration.

Regards.
