Patient's question:
I have plasma cell 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 others will misunderstand it. I try my best to maintain hygiene during intimate activities, but sometimes there is still itching, which makes me very anxious. I'm afraid the child will get infected. Will plasma cell balanitis be contagious?Doctor's answer:
Pustular balanitis, if transmitted through sexual activity, can easily cause cross-infection. Balanitis itself may also be caused by infections from unclean sexual practices. Female vaginal infections are contagious and may lead to 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.
