Patient's question:
I'm only 18 years old this year, and I usually have the habit of masturbation. Recently, I noticed some small bumps on my glans, and the symptoms seem to be similar to balanitis. Is it serious? Will there be any problems? Please ask: What are the causes of balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
Balanoposthitis, common causes include: bacterial infections from unsafe sexual contact, common pathogens include Candida albicans, molds, trichomonas, mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc. In patients with excessive prepuce, the accumulation of smegma stimulates the mucosa, causing inflammation of the glans and foreskin. Additionally, in individuals with high-risk sexual lives, the recurrence of redness on the glans may not rule out the possibility of sexually transmitted diseases.Precautions: Avoid spicy and irritating foods, alcohol, and smoking. Pay attention to personal hygiene, clean frequently, maintain dryness, and avoid tight underwear. In daily life, patients should balance their nutritional intake, engage in aerobic exercises to strengthen the body, and maintain a positive mood to enhance physical fitness and accelerate recovery.
