What are the common symptoms of balanitis?

Patient's question:

Lower body odor is very severe, and the glans is red, swollen, and itchy, with a fishy odor. What are the common symptoms of balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

Considering this is balanoposthitis, its symptoms primarily manifest as redness and swelling of the foreskin, burning pain, relief during urination, and possible purulent discharge from the foreskin opening. You can apply Conal, Fudan Beixin, or Clotrimazole cream topically, take tetracycline orally, and maintain good local hygiene by cleaning the glans and foreskin daily. For individuals with a foreskin, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should promptly undergo medication and take care to avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
