Patient's question:
What should I do if there are granulations at the edge of the glans?Doctor's answer:
Balanoposthitis can be caused by both infectious and non-infectious factors. Due to unsafe sexual contact, infections with Candida, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae can all lead to balanoposthitis. Non-infectious factors are often due to excessive foreskin, inadequate hygiene, and the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, which can irritate the local foreskin and mucosa, causing inflammation.
