Patient's question:
You are in good health, but recently I've been experiencing some pain below my testicles. So, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the results showed that I have balanitis. Because my girlfriend and I have been a bit eager to have intimate relations lately. However, I don't know if it's okay to wear a condom with balanitis. So, can someone with balanitis have sex with a condom?Doctor's answer:
According to your current situation, if the issue of balanitis reoccurs and you wish to engage in sexual activity, you can consider using a condom promptly to prevent triggering a recurrence of vaginal inflammation in your partner. At the same time, pay attention to promptly cleaning the glans after sexual activity to prevent the worsening of balanitis. Also, make sure to change your underwear frequently. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy foods. Balanitis poses significant harm to patients, so once you notice the symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, focus on self-care and consume more fruits and vegetables.
