Abstract:
Treatment and prevention of diseases of the male reproductive organs largely influence male population fertility and the health of the future generations. This review summarizes current views on the problem of infectious balanoposthitis and presents generalized information on its pathogens. Refined classification and diagnostic workup are provided. The important role of pathogenic microflora in the formation of the glans penis and foreskin inflammation is shown. Importance of Enterococcus spp. in the etiology of balanoposthitis is demonstrated. The modern treatment regimens and prevention of balanoposthitis are described.
