Balanitis is a common male disease, although it is not particularly serious. However, if it is not treated in time, it will also cause serious consequences. Today, let’s learn about the dangers of balanitis.

The dangers of balanitis

1. Harmful to reproductive system health

Men suffering from balanitis can easily induce a series of reproductive system diseases, such as prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis, and serious injuries to the vas deferens. If not treated in time, it will cause the male reproductive system to merge with each other and infect each other. You can understand the consequences without me telling you!

2. Cause urinary system diseases

It can also cause ascending infections of the male urinary system, mostly cystitis, nephritis, etc. Among them, patients with chronic balanitis who have not been cured for a long time are most likely to suffer from urinary system diseases. If not treated properly in the acute stage, it will be life-threatening.

3. Can cause sexual dysfunction

During the disease, the male sexual sensory nerve on the glans penis is in a sensitive period, coupled with inflammatory damage. This makes it easy for men to have symptoms of premature ejaculation during intercourse, and impotence will be around the corner if things go on like this.

4. Can cause male infertility

Because inflammation stimulates the male reproductive system and sexual response for a long time, the quality of male sperm is affected. Even if this semen enters the female vagina, the quality is not high. It can also damage women’s egg cells, causing symptoms of infertility.

5. Causes balanitis sicca obliterans

Balanitis sicca is a more serious case of balanitis injury, which destroys the normal physiological structure of the glans foreskin. It will have an impact on the appearance of the genitals and the experience of sexual intercourse, which is also a common factor causing premature ejaculation.
