Your condition may be balanoposthitis, which can be caused by sexual activity and excessive foreskin. Infections with Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, fungi, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria can all lead to it; alternatively, due to excessive foreskin and insufficient hygiene, the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, can irritate the local foreskin and mucosa, causing recurrent inflammation. It is recommended to consult an infectious disease specialist for a definitive diagnosis to facilitate timely and appropriate treatment. Additionally, during the treatment of balanitis, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary habits and psychological state are also crucial. The patient must maintain a light diet.
