Patient's question:
I recently feel frequent urination and painful urination. The glans feels like it's burning, sometimes it's also very itchy. It feels a bit swollen, and there's something leaking out. I went to a urology hospital, and after the doctor examined it carefully, they said it's balanitis. I want to ask, what are the causes of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Balanoposthitis is a common reproductive system inflammatory infection in men. There are several reasons that can lead to balanoposthitis. Poor personal hygiene, phimosis, and the overgrowth of bacteria in the foreskin can cause balanoposthitis. Additionally, frequent masturbation and sexual stimulation can also lead to balanitis. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene during sexual activity and use povidone-iodine solution to clean the glans area locally.For patients, if the condition of male genital diseases is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and proper medication are necessary. Otherwise, the disease may recur. Additionally, patients should maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
