What are the symptoms of balanoposthitis?

Patient's question:

Yes. My foreskin is too long, which has caused inflammation of my glans. Currently, the inflammation requires two injections. The inflammation of my glans is very itchy, not very painful, just itchy. I want to ask the doctor, besides this, what are the other symptoms of balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Balanitis typically recurs with symptoms such as redness, swelling, and pain in the foreskin and glans, and it may also cause itching. If itching recurs, it should be considered a fungal infection. It is recommended to dissolve potassium permanganate in water and use it to soak the glans, while applying triamcinolone acetonide and econazole cream externally for treatment. Daily hygiene should be maintained, and the external genital area should be kept clean and dry to effectively prevent the recurrence of male genital diseases. We should actively take treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If male genital diseases do not improve with treatment, it is important to change the treatment plan promptly.
