Balanitis Infection

Hello Abhay Ji,

Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the head of the penis.

Some signs that might suggest phimosis include:

1. Difficulty or inability to retract the foreskin fully when erect or flaccid.

2. Pain or tightness when attempting to pull back the foreskin.

3. Repeated infections or irritation in the area.

However, if you can retract your foreskin without significant pain or difficulty, you may be fine. Some men naturally have tighter foreskins that don’t cause issues or require treatment.

Virtual Consultation Support

We can help you with a virtual (online) consultation with a specialist who can assess your condition and determine if you have phimosis. Based on this assessment, the specialist can suggest the best treatment options for you.

Hello Jai,

These symptoms are associated with Balanitis, which often occurs due to factors like poor hygiene, fungal or bacterial infections, or skin conditions.

Treatment Options:

1. Keep the area clean using warm water
2. Avoid harsh soaps or chemicals that may cause an allergic reaction.
3. Treatments may include medication, and in some cases, circumcision may be recommended.

Hello Rajiv Ji,

Swelling in the penis can be caused by several factors, including infections, allergic reactions, or injuries. Since it started suddenly, it’s best to see a healthcare provider to get it checked and identify the exact cause.

In the meantime, avoid activities that might further irritate the area, and wear loose clothing to minimize discomfort.
