What are the symptoms of balanitis?

Patient's question:

What are the symptoms of balanitis? What are the main symptoms of balanitis? Does anyone know what the symptoms of balanitis are? Is this disease difficult to treat? How long does it take to completely cure it?

Doctor's answer:

The main symptoms of balanitis are redness and swelling of the foreskin, burning pain, relief during urination, and purulent discharge from the meatus. If the foreskin is moved, the inner foreskin and glans may appear congested, swollen, and in severe cases, shallow small ulcers or erosion may be present, indicating the presence of pus. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
