Patient's question:
Previously, my wife told me that my foreskin was long and prone to causing balanitis. I didn't think it was long, but later when I took a bath, I noticed it was different from others, so now I pay special attention to hygiene. Unfortunately, I got sick and passed it on to my wife. What are the harms of balanitis in men?Doctor's answer:
Harm to reproductive system health: Balanoposthitis can easily lead to inflammation of organs such as prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis, and vas deferens. If not treated promptly and effectively, the condition can spread and cause significant harm to perinatal health.2. Cause urinary system diseases: Balanoposthitis can also lead to downward transmission in the urinary system, commonly seen in conditions such as cystitis, nephritis, and pyelonephritis. Improper treatment during the acute phase can damage the kidneys.
3. Lead to sexual dysfunction: During the inflammatory phase of balanoposthitis, the sexual sensory nerves of the glans are damaged by the inflammation, making it easier for men to experience premature ejaculation during sexual activity.
