FAQs – Balanitis
Q.Is balanitis sexually transmitted?
Not always. While STIs can cause balanitis, many cases are due to poor hygiene or non-infectious skin conditions.
Q.Can balanitis resolve without treatment?
Mild cases may improve with better hygiene, but medical treatment speeds up healing and prevents complications.
Q.Does circumcision eliminate the risk?
It significantly reduces the likelihood of recurrent balanitis, especially in men prone to infections.
Q.Is it a sign of cancer?
Balanitis itself is not cancer, but untreated, chronic inflammation can lead to other complications, so prompt care is important.
