Patient's question:
Oh my god, I have balanitis, why is my life so miserable? I have always been clean and tidy, and my sex life is very demanding, I haven't done anything out of the ordinary, how could I get this disease? It's too unbelievable. What causes balanitis?Doctor's answer:
The main cause of balanitis is phimosis or excessive prepuce. Additionally, dirty sexual intercourse, drug irritation or allergy, are also causes of. Generally, when an infection recurs acutely, the local area often exhibits dampness, redness, swelling, pain, itching, and may even develop secondary erosion and superficial ulcers, accompanied by yellow purulent or creamy-smelling discharge with a distinctive odor. In severe cases, it may lead to necrosis of the glans. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment duration is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment.
