Patient's question:
I just want to ask how long it takes to treat balanitis and when can I have sex again? Besides, will it be transmitted to my girlfriend if I had sex with her when I didn't know I had balanitis? How long does it take to treat?Doctor's answer:
Common causes of balanitis include poor hygiene or phimosis. Balanitis can easily lead to bacterial infections spreading downward through the urinary tract or cross-infection with sexual partners. It is recommended that you actively seek medical follow-up, undergo relevant laboratory tests for a definitive diagnosis, and adopt active and effective treatment measures to prevent missed opportunities for treatment and increased difficulty in treatment. Wishing you good health. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility.
