How to check for balanitis issues?

Patient's question:

Man is 31 years old this year. I also don't know why I had this disease back then, because I didn't pay attention to it at the time. I only went for a check-up when I felt unwell, and this disease had already started to affect my life. Please ask: How to check for balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the symptoms you described, small red spots on the glans and the possibility of transmission may lead to severe balanoposthitis. Considering the symptoms are relatively mild and intermittent, it is recommended to frequently clean the glans and foreskin with warm water to prevent repeated infections from worsening the condition.
I don’t know how you developed phimosis, but it can also lead to glans infection and balanoposthitis. Balanoposthitis is caused by phimosis, where the inner foreskin’s secretions cannot be cleaned promptly, allowing pathogens to grow and reproduce, resulting in local inflammation. Symptoms may include redness, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and a foul odor.
The solution is that if it is mild, you can clean it frequently with plain water.
