Early stage of balanitis

In the early stage, balanitis will cause local redness, swelling or pain. As the condition progresses, ulcers may occur. You must cooperate with a doctor in time for treatment.

Balanitis may be caused by not paying attention to personal hygiene, such as having unclean sex or poor sanitary conditions. Frequent cleaning of the glans may also induce balanitis, but it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by excessive foreskin and lack of circumcision surgery. In the early stages, there may be swelling or erythema on the glans mucosa, but some people may experience pain, irritation, and itching when urinating. If the symptoms are only mild, you can use warm water to clean the area. Keep the area clean and dry to avoid irritation, and avoid frequent sexual intercourse. The symptoms will gradually improve.

If you don't pay attention to personal hygiene or don't cooperate with a doctor in time for treatment, in severe cases, it may cause local exudation or bleeding, and even blisters may occur. It may even cause general symptoms of discomfort, such as fatigue or general weakness. If you have obvious symptoms of discomfort, you need to go to the hospital for detailed examination. Mild symptoms can be treated with topical or oral drugs. If there is excessive foreskin, circumcision surgery is also required.
