What are the harms of balanoposthitis to men?

Patient's question:

I recently experienced redness and swelling of the foreskin, along with a burning sensation, which is relieved during urination. The glans developed papules and erythema, which gradually expanded, with tiny needle-sized vesicles visible on the erythema. Later, after a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as balanoposthitis.
What kind of help is needed: What are the harms of balanoposthitis to men?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the situation you described: phimosis-induced balanitis can easily lead to urinary tract infections, so it is best to seek timely treatment and careful observation. This can also interfere with sexual intercourse. In the next two days, pay attention to preventing the spread of inflammation. Timely treatment and careful observation can be considered for surgical treatment. Potassium permanganate washing generally takes about a week to recover.
