A member asked:

Ive been circumcised since birth. ive had balanitis or a penile bacterial infection since july. have i waited to late to seek treatment. im scared.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO: However, I suggest a medical exam and bacterial culture to cure any possible infection. Penis and glans hygiene is very important- usually soap and water is all that is needed; however, any "infection" must be medically addressed. I suggest abstaining sexually until infection is resolved. I also suggest wearing cotton boxer shorts for the next 4 weeks or until examined.
