This study investigated mild balanoposthitis (MBP) in 51 dermatology patients. Causes were identified in 34 cases, but 17 cases of MBP remained unexplained.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Urology
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Mild balanoposthitis (MBP) presents with localized, inflammatory penile symptoms, often chronic or recurrent.
  • Identifying etiological factors in MBP is crucial for effective patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and characterize cases of mild balanoposthitis (MBP) with penile pathology.
  • To investigate potential causes of MBP in a dermatology clinic setting.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 321 patients with penile pathology over 18 months.
  • Detailed evaluation of 51 diagnosed MBP cases, including blood tests, microbiological examination, and patch testing.
  • Exclusion of clearly identifiable diseases in 270 patients.

Main Results:

  • Etiological factors were identified in 34 out of 51 MBP cases.
  • Identified causes included infection, mechanical trauma, contact irritation, and contact allergy.
  • A specific cause could not be determined for the remaining 17 MBP cases.

Conclusions:

  • A significant proportion of mild balanoposthitis cases have identifiable causes.
  • Further investigation may be needed for MBP cases where the etiology remains unclear.
  • Understanding MBP causes aids in targeted dermatological and urological treatment.
