    Under normal circumstances, the exposure of the glans will not cause infection, but it must be determined based on daily care, and it is usually not possible to generalize.

    There is generally no accumulation of dirt or bacteria when the glans is exposed, so infection generally does not occur. However, if you do not pay attention to local health care for a long time, such as sitting for a long time or not developing the habit of cleaning, it is likely to cause local bacterial growth and even infection. It will also induce the onset of balanitis. After the onset of the disease, it usually leads to obvious redness, swelling or pain on the glans, and even increased sensitivity of the glans, which is also very detrimental to your own health.

    In daily life, you must develop the habit of changing or cleaning underwear every day. When cleaning, it is best to use boiling water to wash it, which can achieve sterilization or anti-inflammatory effects and also avoid gynecological infections. In addition, the underwear after cleaning needs to be exposed to the sun to achieve an anti-inflammatory effect. In daily life, you must avoid sitting for long periods of time, otherwise it will cause the local area to be in a stuffy environment. You also need to wear loose or breathable underwear. You must avoid unclean sexual intercourse and wash with warm water after sexual intercourse.
