What causes balanitis?

Patient's question:

Penile itching, painful urination, and after checking, it was said to be balanitis. What are the effective methods to treat balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

Phimosis is a common disease. Phimosis is divided into balanitis and balanoposthitis, as they often occur simultaneously, so it is called balanoposthitis. This inflammation can be infectious or non-infectious, and clinically, infectious balanoposthitis is more common. The infectious type is often caused by dirty sexual contact, transmitting Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria.
