Treatment Methods for Balanoposthitis, Let Me Explain. For mild balanoposthitis, it needs to be taken seriously! Balanoposthitis refers to the inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans penis. Balanoposthitis can be caused by infectious and non-infectious factors. Due to unsafe sex, infection with Candida, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae can all lead to balanoposthitis. Non-infectious factors are often due to excessive foreskin, insufficient hygiene, and the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, which can irritate the local foreskin and mucosa, causing recurrent inflammation.
