How to determine what type of balanitis it is?

Patient's question:

Initially, the glans was itchy and felt hot, with excessive smegma. Later, the amount of smegma reduced, but the glans and foreskin became sticky, especially at the coronal sulcus. There has been frequent urination and urgency for over a year. What type of balanitis is this?

Doctor's answer:

According to the description, it is phimosis that has led to balanitis and phimatocele, accompanied by symptoms of frequent urination and urgency. You can start by taking anti-inflammatory medication and use a wash daily. If it cannot be fully cured, surgery is recommended for treatment. Additionally, during the treatment period for balanitis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very crucial. The patient must pay close attention to their diet and eat more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
