What are the symptoms of balanitis?

Patient's question:

I am 31 years old this year. Recently, I have had a itchy glans with red spots and got a thorough examination. The result said it was the initial stage of balanitis. What are the symptoms?

Doctor's answer:

Recurring symptoms are related to balanitis, primarily caused by infection, excessive foreskin, or inflammation transmission. The main symptoms are local redness, swelling, and pain, requiring timely medication and close observation. This condition often involves chronic issues, and if there is a foreskin, surgical treatment can help stabilize it. In severe cases, patients should promptly receive symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
