Patient's question:
Male, 31 years old, I have also been treating this disease and taking medication, but it has not improved at all. I am very frustrated. I have tried many methods, but nothing has worked. Please ask: What is the condition of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis refers to balanitis, which is its full name. It is a condition characterized primarily by sterile inflammation that occurs when the foreskin covers the glans. In very few cases, balanitis is caused by exposure to other bacteria through unclean sexual contact. If you develop balanitis, the main issues are first, self-infection, and third, mutual cross-infection with your sexual partner. Especially when some individuals come into contact with the disease but do not exhibit symptoms, bacteria may still be present in their bodies. This can sometimes lead to cross-infection between spouses, causing the issue to resurface when they resume intimacy. Even after treatment, the problem may recur when they get close again.
