What are the symptoms of balanitis?

Patient's question:

I recently feel like I have a constant headache, and besides some unclear secretions and redness, it has been about half a month. I usually dislike eating fishy and spicy foods. Drinking beer and smoking, my friends say it might be balanitis. I mainly want to consult what are the symptoms of balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin is tight and cannot be retracted over the glans. This can lead to inflammation, redness, pain, and itching in the glans. It may also cause ulcers to recur. The symptoms can vary from person to person depending on the severity of the condition. Based on your description, it seems likely that your symptoms are caused by phimosis. Treatment typically involves anti-inflammatory medication, topical antiseptic solutions, and oral antibiotics. These medications can be used in combination for a more effective treatment.
