Patient's question:
Since childhood, I have been engaging in sexual activity, always thinking nothing of it. In middle school, I noticed several rows of small red bumps appearing on my glans again, and it had become red and sore. I was worried that I might have balanitis.Doctor's answer:
Sexual activity can lead to urogenital system inflammation, including conditions you mentioned such as balanitis and prostatitis. Sexual activity not only can cause urogenital inflammation but also neurological symptoms, insomnia, frequent dreams, memory loss, poor concentration, and delayed growth and development. It is important to correctly recognize the dangers of sexual activity and make a firm decision to abstain. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence of the condition. If left untreated, it may worsen the situation. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
