Generally, the causes of balanitis edema include phimosis, poor hygiene of the external genitalia, indirect infection, masturbation, or sexual activity, which can lead to poor venous drainage of the penis and result in recurrent balanitis edema. It is recommended that you pay attention to hygiene, stop masturbation or sexual activity, and carefully observe the symptoms. If the symptoms do not improve, seek medical attention early for a thorough examination and treatment by healthcare professionals. After the symptoms subside, consider undergoing circumcision, among other treatments. Wishing you good health! The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
