Patient's question:
Recently, my glans has been itchy very badly, and I can't help but scratch it consciously or unconsciously. In these past few days, the glans has also appeared red and swollen again, and I have started to feel upset. The doctor at the hospital said it was caused by phimosis leading to balanitis.Doctor's answer:
It can also easily affect sexual life, and repeated balanitis can lead to balanitis adhesion, which in turn affects penile erection, resulting in sexual intercourse pain. This not only disrupts sexual harmony between couples but can also lead to psychogenic sexual dysfunction. It is prone to causing male infertility, mainly because balanitis can lead to prostatitis under the influence of the foreskin, and it can also affect the health of the female reproductive system. It can affect the motility of sperm in semen and the viscosity of semen, leading to infertility.
