    Symptoms of balanitis lead to local edema and pain. In severe cases, local exudation or blisters may occur, as well as repeated fevers. However, oral anti-inflammatory drugs need to be treated promptly under the guidance of a doctor.

    1. Edema and pain

    Balanitis is a common disease among men. It is mainly caused by carelessness in personal hygiene or pathogenic infection. After the onset of the disease, the mucosa of the glans skin may be edematous, accompanied by pain.

    2. Exudate and small blisters

    If inflammation of the glans penis is not treated in time, it may cause local exudation. In severe cases, it may cause local bleeding or small blisters.

    3. Recurrent fever

    Severe inflammation in the glans area may cause these inflammatory factors to enter the central nervous system, causing central nervous system disorders, leading to symptoms such as repeated low-grade fever and weakness in the limbs.

    Balanitis generally requires a timely check-up at the hospital's men's department. You can apply erythromycin ointment and fusidic acid ointment appropriately under the guidance of a doctor to relieve it. At the same time, you must pay attention to personal hygiene and care. When necessary, you can also take oral anti-inflammatory drugs, such as roxithromycin and metronidazole, as directed by the doctor.
