Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's wrong with my lower body, it's very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting 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 from impacts, zipper traps, 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 infections 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 ointments.
