Patient's question:
I have recently developed some papules on my glans, which are very itchy. However, I haven't had any unsafe sexual practices. When I had a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said it was caused by balanitis. What are the dangers of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
1. Male balanoposthitis can also lead to recurrent urinary tract infections in males. For example, it may cause the recurrence of conditions such as cystitis, pyelonephritis, and nephritis.2. Balanoposthitis can affect the sensitivity of the nerves in the glans area, and combined with the damage caused by inflammation, it may lead to premature ejaculation during sexual activity, potentially resulting in chronic premature ejaculation.
3. It can cause male infertility.
