Balanoposthitis presents with which features?

• A. Redness and swelling of the glans and foreskin with itching or burning and discharge
• B. Sharp pelvic pain radiating to legs
• C. Testicular torsion signs
• D. Acute kidney injury signs

Answer: (A)

Balanoposthitis is inflammation of the glans penis and the foreskin. The hallmark features are redness and swelling of the glans and prepuce, with itching or burning and often discharge. This reflects mucocutaneous inflammation that can be due to infection (commonly Candida or bacteria) or noninfectious causes like dermatitis, poor hygiene, or irritation, and is often seen with risk factors such as diabetes or phimosis. The other descriptions point to problems involving different structures—the pelvis and nerves, the testicle, or the kidneys—so they do not fit the area involved in balanoposthitis.
