How is balanitis caused?

Patient's question:

Is it caused by unclean sexual activity? Please ask.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is generally considered to be a sexually transmitted infection of the genital area, such as balanitis. The common causes of balanitis include excessive foreskin, unclean sexual activity, invasion of pathogens, and poor local hygiene. If it is caused by excessive foreskin, it is recommended to seek medical treatment early and undergo a circumcision procedure. This can prevent the recurrence of balanitis and the formation of bumps on the foreskin.
