What are the causes of balanitis and how to identify it?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know why my lower body feels very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Could you please tell me what kinds of balanitis there are and how to identify it?

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms of balanitis are primarily manifested as redness, swelling, itching, ulcers, and pain recurring on the glans. Balanitis is mainly caused by conditions such as excessive foreskin, poor hygiene, or infections during sexual activity. For the treatment of balanitis, the focus is on identifying and targeting the pathogenic bacteria that cause it, using antibiotics accordingly. For example, if the infection is caused by Candida, antifungal medications for treating Candida can be used.
