What are the causes of balanitis?

Patient's question:

I would like to ask what are the causes of balanoposthitis in men? While taking a bath, I noticed some red spots and white spots on my foreskin and glans, so I had a thorough examination, and the result showed that I have balanoposthitis. I want to understand what the cause of the illness is? What are the causes of balanoposthitis in men?

Doctor's answer:

Phimosis and balanitis are often caused by bacterial infections, but primary conditions such as excessive foreskin can also lead to them. It is recommended that you first visit a formal urological hospital for a thorough examination to identify the cause, and then receive treatment accordingly. In daily life, pay attention to hygiene in the foreskin and glans area, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy foods. Additionally, abstain from masturbation and strictly avoid sexual activity. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
