Patient's question:
I noticed some smegma in my foreskin area, which consists of many small white bumps. I also felt uncomfortable during urination, experiencing some difficulty urinating. After a thorough examination, the doctor diagnosed it as balanoposthitis. Why do people get balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
1. Sexual contact: Sexual activity is one of the transmission routes for balanitis. When the female partner has many sexually transmitted diseases, through sexual activity, it directly affects the male penis, thereby causing balanitis. This type of balanitis is highly contagious.2. Trauma: When the male foreskin is subjected to excessive sexual activity, tugging, or zipper-related injuries, it may develop rust or redness, making it easier for bacteria to invade and ultimately leading to inflammation.
