Patient's question:
I recently experienced redness and swelling of the foreskin, along with a burning sensation. The pain is relieved during urination. The glans developed papules and erythema, which gradually expanded, with small vesicles the size of needles visible on the erythema. Later, after a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as balanoposthitis. What are the common hazards of balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
Can lead to sexual dysfunction. During the inflammatory phase of balanitis, the sexual sensory nerves of the glans are in a sensitive period, and combined with the damage caused by inflammation, it makes it easy to experience premature ejaculation during sexual activity. In the long term, it can lead to the recurrence of premature ejaculation. Moreover, the formation of a thickened stenotic ring due to the swelling and adhesion of the foreskin can cause the penis to be pulled backward during erection, leading to weak erection (premature ejaculation). Additionally, in daily life, it is important to avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene.
