In clinical diagnosis, infectious balanoposthitis is more common. Infectious cases are often caused by unsafe sexual contact, leading to infections with Candida albicans, Trichomonas vaginalis, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria. Non-infectious factors are usually due to excessive foreskin, insufficient hygiene, or the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and the glans. From the above content, men can understand that foreskin itching, as one of the key symptoms of balanoposthitis, requires high attention. If balanoposthitis is not treated promptly, it may lead to urinary system diseases, such as cystitis or nephritis. Therefore, if you suspect you have balanoposthitis, seek treatment promptly.
