Patient's question:
I have had balanitis for a long time. Before not having sex, I didn't feel it was a big problem, but since getting divorced, as soon as I have frequent sex, it. Can balanitis lead to sexual dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
During the inflammation phase of balanoposthitis, the sexual sensory nerves on the glans are in a sensitive period. Additionally, the damage caused by inflammation makes it easier to experience premature ejaculation during sexual activity. In the long term, it can lead to recurrent premature ejaculation and the formation of a hypertrophic narrow ring due to phimosis and adhesion of the prepuce. During erection, the penis is pulled backward and compressed, resulting in weak erection (premature ejaculation). If symptoms of balanoposthitis are detected, it is essential to seek medical diagnosis and treatment promptly. Additionally, during treatment, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a balanced diet.
