What are the dangers of not treating balanitis?

Patient's question:

Doctor, because I was carefully diagnosed with balanitis last week, but it's the Chinese New Year soon, and everywhere I need to give gifts and contribute to red envelopes, so I don't have enough money. I heard that treating balanitis costs a lot of money. So I want to ask, what are the dangers of not treating balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Treating balanitis might cost around several thousand yuan. In general, if it's not too severe, applying medication can be sufficient. It's also recommended to complement the treatment with potassium permanganate washing of the genital area. If balanitis is not treated promptly, it may lead to other genital diseases. Moreover, prolonged balanitis can cause pus formation, severely disrupting daily life. Wishing you good health.
