What are the symptoms of balanitis

There are many symptoms of balanitis, and the symptoms of different types of balanitis may vary. For example, acute superficial balanitis often causes redness and swelling of the skin of the penis, and the patient will experience a burning sensation. Annular ulcerated balanitis often causes erythema on the glans and presents symptoms of anterior surface ulcers. In addition, Candida albicans balanitis often presents symptoms such as erosion and exudation.

What are the symptoms of balanitis

(1) Acute superficial balanitis initially causes local redness, redness and swelling of the penis skin, and a burning and itching sensation in the glans penis. When the foreskin is turned back, one can see that the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans are congested and eroded, with exudate and even bleeding. After secondary infection, small ulcers may be seen with foul-smelling milky white purulent secretions. If it rubs against underwear, it will be painful and patients often have difficulty in moving. There may be swelling and tenderness of the inguinal lymph nodes.

(2) Annular ulcerating balanitis: Red spots can be seen on the glans and foreskin. They gradually expand and become ring-shaped, and may form superficial ulcers. (3) Candida albicans balanitis: Red spots can be seen on the foreskin and glans, with a smooth surface and small blisters. The edges of the red spots are clear, and there are erosions and exudation during acute attacks.

(4) Trichomonas balanitis causes papules and erythema on the glans penis, which gradually expand and have clear edges. Small needle-sized blisters can be seen on the erythema, and finally an erosive surface is formed.
