Patient's question:
These days, my sexual life hasn't been satisfying. I noticed small rashes on my glans that are itchy. Besides discharge, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was balanitis and prescribed medication for treatment.Doctor's answer:
Balanoposthitis is primarily caused by sexual infection or poor personal hygiene. It can also be triggered by uncleanly wiped urine alkali, among other factors. To prevent balanoposthitis, it is crucial to pay attention to personal hygiene, cleaning the external genital area and the glans daily. Additionally, if a woman has vaginitis, she should seek early treatment. Until the vaginal discharge from vaginitis fully recovers, sexual activity is not advisable. Balanoposthitis can be alleviated, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment.
