Patient's question:
Last month, when I went out with friends, I met a woman. After chatting with her for a while, we went in to book a room. Recently, I noticed some red patches on my glans and a bad odor. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as balanitis. What are the dangers of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
The hazards of balanoposthitis:1. Balanoposthitis can lead to urinary system diseases. It can cause downward transmission, commonly resulting in conditions such as cystitis, nephritis, and pyelonephritis. Chronic balanoposthitis that does not heal easily is particularly prone to causing urinary system diseases. If not properly treated during the acute phase, it can be life-threatening.
2. Balanoposthitis can lead to sexual dysfunction. Due to the sensitivity of the glans during the sexual response, combined with the damage caused by inflammation, men may experience premature ejaculation during sexual activity. Over time, this can lead to recurrent premature ejaculation.
