Patient's question:
I am a 40-year-old male, and recently I've been feeling discomfort in my glans. My colleague mentioned it might be glans inflammation. I want to know what glans inflammation is.Doctor's answer:
Acute superficial balanitis: This type of balanitis is the most common in men, with symptoms including local redness, redness and swelling of the penis, a burning and itching sensation on the glans, and congestion and erosion visible when the foreskin is retracted. After infection, small ulcers and white, creamy discharge may appear. Circumferential ulcerative balanitis: The main symptom is the appearance of red spots on the foreskin, which gradually expand into a ring shape, forming ulcerated areas.
