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, smegma (accumulated dirt between the foreskin and glans) may build up, irritating the local foreskin and mucosa and causing recurrent inflammation. It is recommended to visit an infectious disease department for a definitive diagnosis, which will 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.
