What tests and examinations are needed to diagnose balanitis?

Patient's question:

4 months ago, a non-sterile sexual intercourse occurred. Red spots appeared on the glans and urethral meatus.
The hospital conducted tests and examinations, which ruled out sexually transmitted diseases. The red spots on the glans had no discharge. There were no ulcers. The foreskin was itchy.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that if you have any of the above discomforts, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to get a clear diagnosis and follow the doctor's advice. Pay attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia in daily life, maintain a light diet, quit smoking and drinking, wear loose clothing, and stop sexual activity. It is best for your partner to also undergo examination and treatment. During the treatment and recovery period, sexual activity should be avoided to prevent cross-infection, etc.
