Men have the habit of masturbating, having sex in the wrong position, and abusing sex toys.

Foreskin ulceration.
About 3% - 11% of men experience balanitis at least once in their lives. Often the cause is an infection with the yeast Candida albicans (C. albicans) or Streptococcus bacteria.

In addition, some sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can cause urethritis, leading to balanitis. In particular, gonorrhea is caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Symptoms may appear within 2 - 30 days of infection. The disease's common symptoms are swelling of the foreskin, green or yellow pus appearing from the opening of the penis, frequent urination, painful urination, and pain during sex.

In addition, men with a long or narrow foreskin make it difficult to retract the foreskin from the head of the penis, leading to poor hygiene and a weakened immune system, creating favorable conditions for yeast. Bacteria overgrow, causing inflammation of the foreskin.

In case, foreskin swelling due to recurring inflammation is a warning sign that men may be suffering from diabetes, immunodeficiency, or even HIV but do not know they have the disease.

'''4. Allergic reactions'''
Many men are allergic to creams or cleaning solutions of unknown origin, so absolutely do not use these without a doctor's guidance. When men need to clean their foreskin, they can use physiological saline or Povidine washing solution to limit allergies.

In addition, some men are often allergic to drugs used to treat other common diseases (usually antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs). When you notice a swollen glans with ulcers and discharge after taking the drug, men should stop taking the drug immediately and bring the prescription to a doctor for timely advice and treatment.

'''5. Foreskin strangulation'''
This condition is also known as phimosis, which is manifested by the foreskin retracting but not being able to be pulled back to its original position. This causes the foreskin to become swollen and tight, which can block blood circulation to the tip of the penis. Risk of serious complications if not treated promptly.
