What are the causes of balanitis?

Patient's question:

There are symptoms of scar hyperplasia. In the past, it was treated, but it still hasn't fully healed.

Doctor's answer:

The causes of balanoposthitis include phimosis, stimulation from smegma, local physical and chemical factors, and various infections. In recent years, the number of adult patients with balanoposthitis has been increasing significantly, which is related to the more open attitudes towards sex, the rise in extramarital sexual activities, and the use of various cleaning agents. After engaging in unprotected sex, the chances of contracting infections are heightened. To prevent sexually transmitted diseases, many people purchase topical sterilizing and anti-inflammatory cleaning agents to clean the external genitalia.
