Does balanoposthitis affect fertility?

Patient's question:

I've been married for 2 years, and I suddenly got balanitis for no reason. I don't know what to do. I heard that balanitis can be a big deal, and I'm afraid it will affect fertility. We don't have any children yet, and my wife is getting older. I really want to have a child as soon as possible.

Doctor's answer:

Balanoposthitis is characterized by visible redness in the foreskin and glans, swelling and pain in the penis, burning sensation and pain at the urethral opening during urination, and creamy foul-smelling discharge. In most cases, this condition is caused by excessive foreskin, so it is recommended to undergo circumcision promptly to completely prevent recurrence of the inflammation.
Advice: It is advisable to choose a reputable large hospital in your area for the surgery. Post-surgery, it will not affect your normal study or work.
