Patient's question:
Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I got home at night, I noticed a red ring had appeared on the head of my penis, with some bleeding. At the time, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by balanitis. I would like to ask: What is the best way to treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is a common inflammation in men, which can be directly transmitted through sexual activity or caused by other inflammatory conditions. It poses significant harm and can affect male sexual function and fertility, requiring timely treatment. The main dangers of male phimosis include the following:1. Sexual dysfunction: Phimosis inflammation can make the glans sensitive, easily leading to premature ejaculation during sexual activity. Long-term inflammation may result in erectile dysfunction.
2. Urinary system diseases: Phimosis can lead to retrograde bacterial infection, often causing conditions such as male cystitis, nephritis, and pyelonephritis, which affect male health.
