Does frequent and excessive masturbation cause balanitis?

Patient's question:

My foreskin is normal, but I often get balanitis due to frequent sexual intercourse. I want to know if frequent sexual intercourse can also cause balanitis.

Doctor's answer:

Proper masturbation is beneficial to physical and mental health. Frequent sexual activity without attention to cleanliness can easily lead to balanitis and phimosis. If you need to increase the frequency of sexual activity recently, you can wash and dry with warm water and apply ointment for treatment, and observe carefully for a few days. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, it is recommended to develop good living habits and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period.
