Patient's question:
I am only 18 years old this year, and I usually have the habit of masturbation. Recently, I found some small bumps on my glans, and the symptoms seem to be balanitis. Is it serious? Will there be any problems? Please ask: What are the causes of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
The causes of balanoposthitis are most commonly certain anaerobic bacteria, Trichomonas vaginalis, and fungi. For patients with balanoposthitis, the source of these pathogenic bacteria is generally external, often transmitted from women to men during sexual activity under suitable physiological conditions, which are referred to as opportunistic infections. If infected, a series of symptoms such as local redness, swelling, heat, rash, erosion, and pain may reappear. It is recommended to learn more about the preventive measures for this disease and to practice prevention in daily life to avoid recurrence. If friends experience adverse symptoms, they should seek timely examination and treatment at a formal and professional urological hospital. Avoid procrastination to prevent missing the best treatment window.
