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. Please ask if balanitis is serious.Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is the inflammation of the glans penis. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. Balanoposthitis refers to the inflammation of the inner foreskin and the glans penis. A lipid substance secreted by the normal foreskin cavity can accumulate as smegma in cases of phimosis or paraphimosis, irritating the foreskin and glans penis, leading to balanoposthitis. Balanoposthitis can easily cause inflammation of organs such as the prostate, testicles, epididymis, and vas deferens. If not treated promptly and effectively, it can lead to mutual infections and cause significant harm to reproductive health.
