I've been treated for balanitis before and it got better, but it seems to come back whenever I have sex. Can you help me figure out how to get rid of it for good?

To prevent balanitis from recurring, it's crucial to identify the root causewhether its an infection, poor hygiene, irritants, or an underlying conditionand address it accordingly. Make sure to follow the full treatment plan prescribed by your doctor, and take steps to maintain good hygiene and sexual health. If the condition persists or worsens, further evaluation and possibly a different treatment regimen may be necessary.
