Patient's question:
I have plasmacytoid balanitis, which has been going on for two years. I don't dare tell my family about this condition, I'm afraid they will worry, and I'm also afraid that others will misunderstand it. I try my best to maintain hygiene during sexual life, but sometimes there are still itchy symptoms, which makes me very anxious. I'm afraid the child will get infected. Will plasmacytoid balanitis be contagious?Doctor's answer:
Pustular balanitis, if transmitted through sexual activity, can easily lead to cross-infection. Balanitis itself may also be caused by infections from unclean sexual practices. Female vaginitis is infectious and can potentially cause male infections through sexual activity. Do not share hygiene products with children. Improper use of hygiene products can also easily lead to infections, and this issue must be addressed properly. In fact, there is no need to fear balanitis. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
