In your case, discomfort may be caused by balanitis. The common causes of this condition include: infectious factors, often resulting from unsafe sexual contact, which can transmit Candida, trichomoniasis, chlamydia, mycoplasma, gonococcal bacteria, or other bacteria. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
