    You should not have sex if you have balanitis. This is not conducive to the recovery of the condition and may even worsen the symptoms.

    Balanitis may be caused by infection, or it cannot be ruled out that the foreskin is too long. During the period of illness, sexual intercourse may cause severe local friction, and even cause congestion and pain. Therefore, sexual intercourse is not allowed. This is not conducive to the recovery of the condition and may even worsen the symptoms. If you want to treat balanitis, you can go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations. After the examination, the severity of the condition can be clarified. If it is determined that the foreskin is too long, it needs to be treated through circumcision surgery under the guidance of a doctor.

    In addition to the above common treatment methods, you also need to go to the hospital for regular check-ups so that you can observe the recovery of the wound.
