Can individuals with balanitis have sexual intercourse?

Patient's question:

My husband has developed balanitis, and his glans is red. Yesterday, he asked for sexual intercourse, but I refused. Can I have sexual intercourse with balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you have balanitis, it is likely caused by a bacterial infection due to poor hygiene. It is not recommended to have sexual activity and timely treatment is necessary. You can use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning, combined with anti-inflammatory medication to control the condition. Cryptorchidism is often due to poor development, where the penis is pulled by the frenulum, leading to hidden discomfort symptoms. It is recommended to undergo a detailed examination, and if necessary, surgery can be performed to free the hidden penis, promoting healthy development. Wishing you good health!
