Patient's question:
Recently, my glans has been aching for a while, and it hasn't improved. There are small red spots and red patches. If it gets by underwear, it will be a bit painful. I'm worried about getting balanitis. What are the main symptoms of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of balanitis and phimosis manifest as: itching, redness, swelling, white patches, small red spots, small white spots, congestion, and discharge pain. If balanitis is suspected, the initial stage of balanitis typically presents with local redness, a burning sensation, and itching. Balanitis is usually transmitted through unprotected sexual contact or caused by poor hygiene due to excessive foreskin, where unclean substances between the foreskin and the glans stimulate the local mucous membrane, leading to inflammation. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment duration is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Proper medication should be used.
