Patient's question:
I have balanitis, and my wife is very stingy with me every time we have sex, afraid of getting infected. Hello doctor, will this balanitis be contagious?Doctor's answer:
If the balanitis is caused by a bacterial infection or a fungal infection, it is essential to avoid sexual activity and wait until it is completely cured before resuming it, as it still carries a certain level of transmissibility. It is important to maintain local cleanliness at all times and to eat less spicy and irritating foods. Avoid fatigue and overwork. Consume more fresh fruits and vegetables. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
