Patient's question:
I just want to ask how long it takes to treat balanitis and when can I have sex again? Besides, will it be transmitted to my girlfriend if I had sex with her when I didn't know I had balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Common causes of balanitis include poor hygiene or phimosis. Balanitis can easily lead to downward urinary tract infections caused by bacteria or cross-infection with sexual partners. It is recommended that you actively seek medical follow-up, undergo relevant laboratory tests for a definitive diagnosis, and adopt active and effective treatment measures to prevent missed opportunities for treatment and increased difficulty in treatment. Wishing you good health! Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
