How is balanitis caused?

Patient's question:

Is it caused by unclean sexual activity? Please ask.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is generally considered to be a sexually transmitted infection of the genital area, such as balanoposthitis. The common causes of balanoposthitis include excessive foreskin, unclean sexual activity, invasion of pathogenic microorganisms, and poor local hygiene. If it is caused by excessive foreskin, it is recommended to seek medical treatment early and undergo circumcision to prevent the recurrence of balanoposthitis and the formation of bumps on the foreskin.
