Balanitis is an inflammation of the glans (the rounded head) of the penis.

Posthitis is inflammation of the foreskin. Foreskin is the loose skin that covers the head of the phallus if the man has not been circumcised. If the two, glans and foreskin are inflamed, it’s known as balanoposthitis.

Syphilis comes in four stages, each with a different set of symptoms, ranging from mild tosevere. Syphilis is a slowly progressing disease.

Primary stage of syphilis: One or a lot of painless sores/ulcers (chancres) develop at the location where the microorganism initial entered the body. Chancres may be hard to spot and are highly infectious. Typical places to see them are:

•             On the vulva or cervix

•             On the penis

•             Anus and mouth

Secondary stage syphilis symptoms often include:

•             Swollen glands with loss of appetite, fatigue and a flu-like feeling

•             A Rash which usually covers the whole body or comes in patches.

•             Flat, warty-looking growths on the vulva and around the anus

•             White patches on the tongue or roof of the mouth

•             Hair loss

Latent and tertiary stages of syphilis typically happens mostly when  treatment was left too late in the first 2 stages. The patient will currently no longer suffer many symptoms of the earlier stages, but their infection can still be diagnosed with a blood test. Symptomatic late syphilis, also known as the tertiary stage is now the end result. This stage is serious and could affect the heart and nervous system.
