Balanitis is pain and inflammation of the penis glans that generally occur due to infection on the skin on the head of the penis. There are various causes of balanitis. While yeast infection, also called candida balanitis, is the most common reason for balanitis, it can also happen due to bacterial infections.
Along with improper hygiene, reaction to latex condoms, allergic reaction to certain medications, and STDs can also cause balanitis.
Often, for mild balanitis, doctors recommend antibiotics and antifungal creams. But, when these medical treatments fail to provide relief, urologists often suggest laser procedures as the best treatment for balanitis symptoms.
A balanitis infection is generally not serious, and while it may cause pain and discomfort, it is possible to cure it with topical medications.
Though balanitis is not contagious, it’s possible to transfer the underlying infection that caused it in the first place. Some symptoms that may be indicative of balanitis are:
• Disease name

• Surgery name

• Duration

Prior to balanitis treatment, your doctor will perform a series of tests and diagnostics to not only evaluate your overall health but also uncover any underlying medical conditions you may have that could require additional care or precautions, during or after surgery. Balanitis infection is typically diagnosed with a simple physical examination as most of its symptoms are visible.
Alongside, your urologist may also perform some additional tests to better understand not only any potential balanitis causes behind it but also the type of balanitis you have. Some tests and diagnostics that your urologist may perform include:
A circumcision surgery is generally a safe and effective balanitis treatment. Circumcision involves the removal of the foreskin covering the penile head or glans penis. There are primarily three methods of performing foreskin removal surgery:
Laser circumcision is the most effective treatment for balanitis. It is an advanced and minimally invasive procedure performed to surgically remove the foreskin with a high-energy laser beam.
Laser treatment for balanitis is extremely precise and does not carry any risk of any deep cuts or excessive bleeding. Laser circumcision recovery period is much less and has been shown to have better results and postoperative quality of life. Thus, it is the best way to treat balanitis.
Stapler circumcision is a more conventional form of circumcision that is safe, quick, and efficient in nature. Doctors perform stapler circumcision using a disposable surgical device specially designed to remove the foreskin.
This stapler device fits well around the head of the penis and, once fired, removes the foreskin in a quick motion. Also, the stapler device leaves behind a silicone ring around the incision wound to close it off and minimize bleeding. This silicone ring falls off on its own after 7-10 days once the wound heals.
Open surgery to treat balanitis, sometimes referred to as dorsal slit technique, is a traditional method of circumcision. Surgeons perform this surgery using either a scalpel or surgical scissors. They make an incision along the upper length of the foreskin from the tip of the corona to expose the penile glans.
Compared to laser and stapler circumcision, open circumcision is more invasive and, as a result, requires longer to heal. It also carries significantly more risk of complications either during or after surgery.
The possibility of risks and complications after balanitis surgery is quite low. However, it does not mean it can’t cause any complications at all.
So, following are some possible risks and complications of foreskin removal surgery that you must be aware of:
So it is always better to do laser balanitis treatment from an experienced urologist for a safe and secure procedure.

You may need to immediately consult your urologist for the following emergency treatment warning signs:
Before moving onto surgical treatments, your urologist may recommend use of some non-surgical alternatives for treating candidal or fungal balanitis. Depending on what is causing your condition, treatment may vary as well.
If your balanitis is caused by a yeast infection, also known as candida balanitis, your urologist may prescribe the use of antifungal cream for balanitis rash treatment.
Apply balanitis treatment cream on the head of the penis and foreskin. Some of the most commonly used brands of antifungal creams that your urologist may prescribe to treat fungal balanitis are:
If a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD’s) is the reason for inflammation, urologists prescribe some antibiotics to treat balanitis. Depending on the infection, there are different antibiotics to treat balanitis. There are primarily three types of antibiotics that doctors advise for effective balanitis treatment:
Before taking any of the above-mentioned ointments and medications, consult your urologist to avoid unforeseen risks and complications.
Before treatment, give some break to your body. Avoid sex and masturbation, as friction can irritate your penis and make symptoms worse. Abstinence will help in healing the skin faster. After treatment, especially if you’ve undergone surgical treatment for balanitis, you’ll need to be patient and wait until your doctor gives you a heads up. Complete healing can take around 3 to 4 weeks. Once fully healed, you can gently resume normal routine without concerns.
Balanitis advances very slowly and generally does not hinder any physiological functions. If left untreated, though, balanitis can lead to severe complications such as:
Yes, Balanitis is a urological condition that can be cured properly and completely. Your doctor can put you on antibiotics or other medications like creams or lotions to medicate the problem. But, the forever solution to this problem is foreskin removal surgery
You can resume sexual activities when the symptoms or post-surgery wounds heal fully in 3 to 4 weeks. Abide by your doctor’s advice to keep away irritation or recurrence.
Recurrence after circumcision for balanitis is quite rare, but it may happen if the patient does not maintain proper hygiene. Following post-surgery care and regular check-ups helps to prevent it.
The anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties of tea tree oil are very effective in relieving balanitis. The best way to apply tea tree oil on the penis is by mixing it with coconut oil. This prevents any chances of burning and reddening of the penis. So, you can use this home remedy for balanitis every day and experience fast healing.
If you notice symptoms like fever, severe pain, inflammation and pus drainage from the penile glans or the foreskin, immediately contact your urologist. These could be signs of an infection and leaving untreated, it can cause serious complications such as sepsis, necrosis, etc.
Pain and inflammation on the head of the penis, itching under the glans, formation of white skin on the penis, pain while passing urine are some of the common symptoms of balanitis
Proper hygiene prevents inflammation of the penile skin. Wash the penis every day while bathing. Make sure to clean the area under the foreskin properly and you can also use cotton swabs.
Ginger and garlic are enriched in anti-microbial and antifungal properties that improve balanitis significantly. Hence, you should include ginger in your regular diet to get rid of balanitis fast.
Using aloe vera gel is among the best remedies for balanitis. The cooling and anti-bacterial effects of aloe vera gel on the skin helps in curing balanitis as well. There are no side-effects of using aloe vera gel for balanitis.
Balanitis is manageable in most cases, if the affected individual follows some care tips. Wash your hands before touching te penis or passing urine, gently dry, and use condoms that are suitable for dry skin.
