Balanitis is not mold infection

Balanitis may be caused by mold infection or other reasons. It needs to be judged according to the specific situation. If the patient is infected with mold, when the body's immunity drops, it will cause mold to multiply in the glans area and invade the skin or mucosa of the glans area, resulting in balanitis. At this time, balanitis is usually caused by mold infection.

Balanitis may also be related to external stimuli. When patients do not pay attention to the hygiene of private parts for a long time, resulting in the accumulation of metabolic waste such as urine, sweat stains, and smegma, causing irritation and damage to the glans tissue, balanitis may also be caused. At this time, balanitis is not caused by a fungal infection.
