Recurrent balanoposthitis - what are the causes?

Patient's question:

The symptoms come and go repeatedly. I went to the hospital for careful examinations several times, and they all said there was nothing wrong. Yesterday, I had a test for infectious diseases.

Doctor's answer:

Your test results indicate that you have been infected with two infectious diseases: syphilis and hepatitis B. There is no information about balanitis on this test. Balanitis is generally primarily related to your hygiene and your sexual partner's vaginitis. It is recommended that you pay close attention to your personal hygiene and clean more frequently to prevent secretions from irritating the head of the penis. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to use medications that are appropriate for your condition. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
