What are the symptoms of balanitis?

Patient's question:

For a while, it will be accompanied by a recurrence of pain in the lower abdomen, perineum, hip area, etc. When the pain comes on, you sweat all over. What are the symptoms of balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

Gonococcal orchitis initially presents with local redness, a sensation of heat and itching. Gonococcal orchitis is generally transmitted through unprotected sexual contact or caused by excessive foreskin, insufficient hygiene, and the irritation of dirty substances between the foreskin and the glans leading to inflammation. Clinical diagnosis primarily manifests as dampness, redness, swelling, heat, and pain in the glans and foreskin, with symptoms worsening after friction, accompanied by symptoms such as urgency and dysuria. If not treated promptly, the glans and foreskin may develop secondary necrosis and ulcers, accompanied by creamy, foul-smelling purulent discharge. In severe cases, gangrene may occur, along with conditions such as prostatitis and infertility. It is recommended to visit a urology hospital for examination to identify the cause before treatment.
