What Are the Causes and Complications of Balanoposthitis?

The common causes of balanoposthitis include poor personal hygiene, which leads to accumulation of smegma under the foreskin and increased secretions that irritate the glans penis. In addition, inadequate hygiene during sexual activity can also irritate the glans and trigger balanoposthitis. Complications of balanoposthitis may include fissures, blisters, or ulceration of the glans penis, posing a serious threat to male reproductive health.
