Patient's question:
Penile itching, went to consult a doctor who said it might be balanoposthitis, is balanoposthitis serious?Doctor's answer:
If untreated, balanoposthitis may cause the following harm:1. Harm to the reproductive system health: Balanoposthitis can easily lead to inflammation of organs such as prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis, and vas deferens. If not treated promptly and effectively, the infections may spread to each other, causing significant harm to overall health.
2. Cause infertility: Due to inflammatory secretions hidden in the foreskin, during sexual intercourse, these secretions mix with semen and enter the vagina, reducing semen quality and damaging sperm and egg cells, leading to recurrent infertility.
