Penile itching, swelling and pain are common clinical symptoms in urology. The causes of the disease are complex, most of which are caused by balanitis. Patients with penile itching, swelling and pain should undergo professional examinations in regular hospitals before they can be diagnosed and receive targeted treatment.

Pathological analysis of balanitis: It refers to inflammation of the inner plate of the foreskin and the glans penis. A lipid substance secreted by the normal foreskin can accumulate into smegma when the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs, which can irritate the foreskin and glans penis and cause balanitis.

Balanitis is more common in cases of excessive foreskin and a history of unclean sexual intercourse. The foreskin and glans of the penis are slightly flushed, and there may be white cheese-like patches on the inner plate of the foreskin and the glans coronal sulcus. There may be needle-sized light red papules on the glans, and there may be frequent urination and painful urination. On the glans and foreskin, erythema can be seen, which gradually expands and becomes ring-shaped, and can form a superficial ulcer surface.

Go to a regular hospital for examination as soon as possible: avoid missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis, and recover quickly
