Patient's question:
I recently had redness and swelling of the foreskin, with a burning sensation, and the pain was relieved during urination. The glans developed papules and erythema, which gradually expanded, with tiny 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 inflammation phase of the foreskin and glans, 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 thickened narrow ring formed by foreskin swelling and adhesion can cause the penis to be pulled backward during erection, leading to weak erection (premature ejaculation). Additionally, in daily life, avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene.
