What is the cause of redness and swelling of the foreskin?

Patient's question:

I haven't had any pain for three days, but there's a little pain when the foreskin is retracted. I noticed some redness and swelling at the front of the foreskin.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! According to your description, it is possible that you may have balanoposthitis, as the symptoms you described are very consistent with those of balanoposthitis. However, to confirm the diagnosis, you need to go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations before you can be diagnosed. The causes that can lead to balanoposthitis include trauma transmission, contact transmission, unclean sexual life, allergies, etc., but it is worth noting that some balanoposthitis is contagious. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for a thorough examination as soon as possible, identify the cause, and then treat it accordingly.
