What are the symptoms of balanitis?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with balanitis. I don't know much about this disease, so I'd like to ask, what are the symptoms of balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

Balanitis often recurs, characterized by redness, swelling, and pain in the foreskin, sometimes accompanied by numerous small red bumps. If you develop balanitis, you can use a very small amount of potassium permanganate dissolved in a basin of warm water to slightly turn the water pink. Then, immerse the entire foreskin and glans in the solution. Repeating this process many times can help alleviate the condition. For individuals with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should promptly use medication and maintain regular sexual activity while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
