Patient's question:
I recently don't know why my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I also don't get morning erections anymore. What are the symptoms of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Balanoposthitis can be broadly categorized into four major types: traumatic, contact, drug-induced, and infectious. In terms of traumatic balanoposthitis, it is often caused by injuries such as being hit, getting caught in a zipper, or injuries during sexual activity. In such cases, the foreskin may become significantly red, swollen, and painful. If the balanitis is caused by scratching due to parasitic infection of the penis, it will be accompanied by a sensation of itching. Contact balanitis primarily occurs due to the use of local antiseptics or topical creams and ointments.
