Understanding Balanoposthitis
Balanoposthitis is an inflammation of the glans (head) and the foreskin of the penis. It is a combination of two conditions: balanitis, which is inflammation of the glans, and posthitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin. This condition can cause significant discomfort and may result from various infections, poor hygiene, or underlying health issues.
Symptoms of Balanoposthitis
- Redness and Swelling: Noticeable redness and swelling of the glans and foreskin.
- Pain and Discomfort: Pain or discomfort, particularly during urination or sexual activity.
- Itching and Irritation: Persistent itching and irritation around the glans and foreskin.
- Discharge: Abnormal discharge with a foul smell may be present.
- Difficulty Retracting Foreskin: Difficulty in pulling back the foreskin (phimosis) due to swelling and inflammation.
- Cracking or Ulceration: Cracks or sores on the foreskin and glans.
