  • What is Balanoposthitis?

    Balanoposthitis is a disease of the male genitalia which involves inflammation of the foreskin and glans in uncircumcised men. Generally, it does not require treatment and gets better on its own. However, in some cases, medical intervention becomes a must.

    The condition is quite discomforting and has no single cause. It is common in uncircumcised and partially circumcised men. This condition is generally curable by medical intervention and requires circumcision surgery only when the condition gets severe.

    Balanoposthitis Diagnosis

    Balanoposthitis is typically diagnosed with the help of a physical exam. During this exam, the urologist will examine your penis and ask you questions about the symptoms you’re experiencing. Based on the physical exam findings, the doctor might suggest other tests.

    The doctors perform a swab test to collect samples from the head or foreskin of the penis and examine them under a microscope. They may also suggest a blood test or biopsy to rule out other complications.

    Balanoposthitis Treatment

    Non-surgical

    Balanoposthitis exhibits different symptoms in each individual. The treatment extended for this condition is based on the seriousness of the condition. In most cases, non-surgical methods offer fruitful results, especially when the disease is in its initial stages. So, on that note, listed below are some standard non-surgical treatment methods for Balanoposthitis:

    • Antibiotics: If your Balanoposthitis is caused due to STD infections, the doctors might prescribe antibiotics for balanoposthitis treatment. The types of antibiotics will depend upon the type of infection.
    • Anti-fungal creams: Yeast infections are also a leading cause of Balanoposthitis. If the cause of this condition is yeast infections, the doctor will give you anti-fungal medicines to curb the discomfort.
    • Diabetes management: Balanoposthitis is also common in people affected by diabetes. In these cases, the balanoposthitis treatment consists of ways to manage diabetes.

    Surgical

    In chronic or recurrent cases of Balanoposthitis, surgery becomes requisite. Circumcision is a common surgical procedure for balanoposthitis treatment and other common diseases like balanitis treatment, phimosis treatment, paraphimosis treatment, foreskin infection treatments. Circumcision is usually performed by the following methods- laser circumcision, stapler circumcision, and open circumcision., which involves the removal of the foreskin covering the head of the penis (glans). This surgery is generally performed using the following methods:

    • Open Circumcision Surgery: In open balanoposthitis surgery, surgeons use the traditional method to extract the foreskin. It involves sedating the patient with a local or general anesthetic, measuring the skin to be removed, and cutting it with a scalpel before cauterizing or stitching it back.
    • Laser circumcision surgery: This is a 20-minute long, minimally-invasive method of circumcision that ensures minimal discomfort. The surgeons use a high-beam laser to cut the foreskin. This procedure is also performed under general or local anesthesia and involves no stitches and minimal blood loss.
    • Stapler circumcision surgery: This is another minimally-invasive method that involves foreskin removal using a surgical stapler. The patient is sedated with local or general anesthesia before this balanoposthitis surgery. This procedure does not cause wounds or scars, and the patient is discharged on the same day.

    Risks of surgery

    Circumcision surgery is generally quite safe and seamless. However, all individuals undergoing this surgery should be aware of its potential risks and complications. We have listed below the complications that might occur during or after a circumcision surgery:

    • Infection is a possible complication after circumcision surgery. The incision site can get infected if it isn’t taken care of. Therefore, all patients are required to take precautionary measures to prevent infections.
    • Patients that are allergic to anesthesia may experience an allergic reaction to it. The usual symptoms of this reaction are nausea, vomiting, and headache.
    • Some patients might notice bleeding from the incision site. This isn’t common but might occur. The bleeding usually stops without medical intervention. However, if it persists, see a doctor immediately.
    • In some cases, the surgeon might cut the skin too short or too long, which can cause discomfort and require another surgery.
    • Circumcision scars or skin issues can occur if the wound fails to heal correctly.
    • In some cases, the foreskin does not reattach properly and may cause a lot of discomforts. This generally requires another surgery.

    At Pristyn Care we treat various foreskin issues by laser circumcision, stapler circumcision and frenuloplasty surgery.
