Patient's question:
I recently experienced redness and swelling of the foreskin, along with a burning sensation, which is relieved during urination. The glans developed papules and erythema that gradually expanded, with tiny needle-sized vesicles visible on the erythema. Later, after a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as balanoposthitis. What kind of harm does balanoposthitis generally cause to patients?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. Additionally, the formation of a thickened constricting ring due to foreskin swelling and adhesion can cause the penis to be pulled backward during erection, leading to weak erection (premature ejaculation). Moreover, in daily life, it is important to avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene.
