BALANITIS & BALANOPOSTHITIS: THE UNDERRATED PROBLEMS, THEIR CARE, CAUTIONS AND IMPORTANCE OF TREATMENT
Balanitis is an inflammation of the glans, or the head of the Penis, due to infection or another cause. Balanitis can be uncomfortable and sometimes painful. It is a skin irritation that affects men and boys. Commonly it affects one in every 25 men.
Balanoposthitis is a combination of two words, Balanitis, and posthitis. “Balanitis” is inflammation of the glans, whereas “Posthitis” is inflammation of the foreskin.
It is more likely to happen if there is phimosis, a condition where the foreskin of the Penis is too tight. Women can also have Balanitis, a term used to describe an inflammation of the clitoris. Still, here in this article, we will spotlight the glans of the Penis.
Balanitis occurs in both circumcised and uncircumcised men, although Balanitis may occur in men who are not circumcised. However, in our clinical practice at Sidri International Clinic, we have seen even Circumcised men consulting us for Balanitis. Young men generally are affected with Balanitis only if they have a very tight foreskin that is difficult to pull back.
It is necessary to take the treatment of Balanitis and Balanoposthitis in time. If not treated well in time, it can make you uncomfortable in one of the most sensitive parts of the body, i.e., the glans (head of the Penis) and the foreskin (loose flap of skin that covers the head of the Penis).
Balanitis is not age restrictive, as it can happen at any age.
Balanitis or Balanoposthitis may not look very serious at first instance. Still, it is necessary to take proper treatment which clears the issue from the root cause so that there are generally no recurrences.
Sidri International Skin Hair and Sexology Clinic provide the best Ayurvedic treatment for all sexual problems like Premature ejaculation, Erectile Dysfunction, Candidiasis, Tight Foreskin, Penile Yeast Infection, Sexually Transmitted Infections, and Sexually Transmitted Diseases, etc.
CAUSES OF BALANITIS & BALANOPOSTHITIS
Balanitis affects the glans or the head of the Penis, and it may be root in several causes:
- If a person does not keep the genital area clean, they may be at a higher risk of contracting an infection.
- Using harsh chemical soaps, body lotions, lubricants, penile enhancement massage oils & creams, delay sprays, and numbing creams or gels can irritate the skin on your Penis and trigger Balanitis and Balanoposthitis.
- Uncontrolled Diabetes is also a cause of Balanitis as well as Balanoposthitis.
- Drugs prescribed to cure Diabetes, like dapagliflozin, etc., can also cause the problem of Balanitis.
- Balanitis can also be caused because of certain bacteria.
- Balanitis can also be caused due to reactive arthritis.
- Poor hygiene can contribute to sweat, dirt, and bacteria accumulated under the foreskin and can result in Balanitis.
- Allergies to certain chemicals can cause Balanitis.
- Infection with Candida Albicans is the most common cause of Balanitis.
- Sexually transmitted infections like Herpes simplex virus and syphilis can also contribute to Balanitis.
- Chemicals used in condoms can also cause irritation and Balanitis.
- Balanitis can also be caused due to skin conditions like Lichen Planus, Eczema, Psoriasis, and Dermatitis.
- Children fiddling with their foreskin
- Rough masturbation or Sexual intercourse without a proper lubricant can also cause Balanitis due to friction and micro tears on the glans and foreskin.
- Chronic itching can lead to trauma on the glans and foreskin, leading to Balanitis and Balanoposthitis.
- Dry humping on a bed or over a partner can cause Balanitis due to friction.
After reading about many causes, one may need clarification about how the problem should be diagnosed. Still, it would be best if you never forgot that trying self-medication might adversely affect your manhood. So it is always better to go by expert advice.

HOW AYURVEDA TREATMENT AT SIDRI INTERNATIONAL HELPS IN CURING BALANITIS & BALANOPOSTHITIS
Allopathic medicines may manage the condition temporarily, but there have been cases of recurrence of diseases. Allopathic treatments hide all the flaws under temporary sheets of antifungal and antibiotic medicines. Still, they fail to realize the long-term side effects of these chemicals on a person’s body. Ayurveda heals the condition from within as it is natural and purely nature-based.
It is being seen that antifungals and antibiotics are showing resistance these days. So it becomes a vicious cycle. Most of the time, patients complain that their previous doctor just kept changing and increasing the strength of antifungals and antibiotics each time they visited after having a relapse of Balanitis and Balanoposthitis. On top of it, the local application of Steroid based Creams leads to more menace than doing any good to the skin.
When patients reach out to us at Sidri International Clinic, they are generally in a state of high physical and mental agony of the failed previous treatments, multiple investigation reports, and side effects from those medicines.
