Is balanitis left untreated?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Can I leave the balanitis untreated?

Doctor's answer:

Phimosis is a common urogenital system disease. When men experience recurrent phimosis, the early symptoms are relatively mild. It is recommended to use conventional medication for treatment. If left untreated, the symptoms of phimosis may worsen, and it may even lead to cross-infection during sexual activity, such as recurrent vaginitis, cervicitis, or pelvic inflammatory disease. For bacterial-induced phimosis, it is advisable to use medications like levofloxacin gel, erythromycin ointment, or creams for local topical treatment. Specific medication should be followed strictly according to medical advice.
