Patient's question:
Is balanitis a sexually transmitted disease? What did the doctor say today?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, balanitis is caused by excessive foreskin and chronic inflammation. It can also be transmitted through unsafe sexual practices. It may manifest as red, swollen, and itchy balanitis, or even white discharge. First, it is recommended that you clean the external genitalia daily and maintain local hygiene. Seek professional urological and andrological examination to remove cells on the glans, conduct bacterial culture, and perform drug sensitivity tests to enable targeted medication.
