Patient's question:
It started just a couple of days ago. I haven't had sex either. I'm 21 years old. What's going on? I'm also very shy, so I don't want to go to the hospital.Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation may be considered as balanitis, which is often caused by sexual intercourse. Suggestions: The infection may be caused by Candida albicans, trichomonas, chlamydia, mycoplasma, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria; non-infectious factors are often due to excessive foreskin, insufficient hygiene, and the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and the glans, known as smegma, which can irritate the local foreskin and mucosa, leading to inflammation. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a detailed examination and timely treatment.
