Symptoms of balanitis

Patient's question:

What are the symptoms of balanitis? Which hospital is better for treating balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms of balanitis are actually quite easy to distinguish, as the main symptoms of balanitis include: redness and swelling of the glans, burning pain, worsening during urination, and purulent discharge from the meatus. If the foreskin is moved, it can be seen that the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans become congested, swollen, and in severe cases, superficial small ulcers or erosion may appear, with purulent discharge. Since the types of balanitis differ, the symptoms of balanitis are also not entirely the same. For example, the symptoms of acute superficial balanitis initially present with local redness, red and swollen skin, and a sensation of burning and itching in the glans.
