Balanitis is more common in adolescents and children. It is often caused by excessive foreskin, accumulation of smegma in the foreskin due to poor hygiene, leading to bacterial infection and subsequent illness. In the early stages of the disease, mild cases may only show redness of the glans and inner foreskin, accompanied by itching. Severe cases can cause pain and tenderness; in later stages, superficial ulcers may develop in the foreskin, with yellowish or cottage-cheese-like discharge, often accompanied by a foul odor. Significant local redness and swelling can affect urination and cause dysuria. In the early stages of balanoposthitis, visible swelling and congestion can be seen on the glans and foreskin. The urethral meatus may appear red with sores and erosion, which can develop into superficial ulcers with purulent discharge.
