Patient's question:
At the age of 34, after getting sick, he took medicine but it didn't have much effect, and he still felt uncomfortable. Please ask: Why did he get balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
1. Bacterial Infection: Some bacterial infections can cause balanoposthitis in men, such as candidiasis and trichomoniasis, which can all lead to balanitis.2. Excessive Prepuce or Phimosis: Excessive prepuce or phimosis is a common cause of balanoposthitis. The prepuce is prone to accumulating smegma, fostering bacteria, which can then lead to balanitis.
3. Improper Sexual Intercourse: Some men may sustain minor injuries to the glans during sexual activity due to rough handling, making it more susceptible to bacterial contamination and easily leading to balanitis. It is recommended that if balanitis occurs, medical attention should be sought promptly for examination and treatment.
