Is the oil on condoms harmful to the body?

Patient's question:

Condoms are things that every young person uses. However, due to the reappearance of many illegal merchants, yes, the variety of condoms is very diverse, so we are still very worried when using them. Some really can't tell if they are supplied by regular manufacturers. Is there any harm to the body from the oil on the condom?

Doctor's answer:

The oil on condoms is harmless to the body. If sold through legitimate channels, this lubricant serves its purpose without affecting health. If purchased from many unofficial channels, and if the quality is not guaranteed, the harm is relatively minor. The main risks are potential urinary tract infections or balanitis. It will never cause other abnormalities. If there is redness, swelling, pain, or itching after use, it is necessary to pay attention to anti-inflammatory treatment and avoid using this batch of products. When purchased through legitimate channels, the probability of getting counterfeit products is still very low.
