Balanitis: is a condition causing painful inflammation and redness of the penile head and foreskin, usually occurring in an uncircumcised penis.

Symptoms may include irritation around the penile glans, soreness and pain in the penis, difficulty in urination, and inflammation.

This causes intense itching, swelling, irritation, vaginal pain and soreness, vaginal rash, thick, white, odour-free vaginal discharge with a cottage cheese appearance, and watery vaginal discharge. Causes are antibiotic use (which causes an imbalance in natural vaginal flora), pregnancy, uncontrolled diabetes, and an impaired immune system.
