Patient's question:
I have a condition of excessive foreskin recently. I've been feeling itchy and it has started to turn red. I don't know if I have balanitis. So, I wanted to ask you what are the symptoms of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Balanitis is primarily a symptom of inflammation within the glans. If the inflammation is severe, it may spread from the urethra to the bladder, prostate, and other areas, causing further inflammatory symptoms. In addition to promptly using antibiotic medications to treat balanitis, it is best to surgically remove excess foreskin for a permanent solution. Finally, I wish you a speedy recovery.
