Patient's question:
I am 40 years old this year. Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I came home that night, I noticed a red ring on my head and some bleeding. Does balanitis spread?Doctor's answer:
Balanoposthitis is one of the more common reproductive infections among men, but it is not a sexually transmitted disease. How balanoposthitis can be transmitted to others depends on the specific circumstances. For example, balanoposthitis caused by certain bacteria or fungi, such as Candida albicans, Trichomonas vaginalis, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, can lead to infection. It is recommended that patients seek thorough examination and treatment at a regular hospital to achieve better therapeutic effects.
