Patient's question:
I recently experienced redness and swelling of the foreskin, along with a burning sensation, which 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 adverse effects of balanoposthitis on patients?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 can easily lead to premature ejaculation during sexual activity. In the long term, it can cause recurrent premature ejaculation. Moreover, the thickened narrow ring formed by 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.
