Dear Vaibhav ji,

Balanitis yaani penile region mein itching aur redness; aksar infection, irritation, ya poor hygiene ke kaaran hota hai. 1–2 hafte se agar symptoms hai, to proper diagnosis aur timely treatment zaroori hai.

Understanding Balanitis

• Symptoms: redness, itching, mild swelling, burning sensation

• Causes: fungal/bacterial infection, tight foreskin (phimosis), harsh soaps, poor hygiene

• It’s common and usually treatable with simple medical care

Treatment Options of Balanitis

• Topical creams: Antifungal or antibacterial creams (only after doctor consultation)

• Oral medication: If infection is moderate to severe

• Improved hygiene: Gently clean with warm water, avoid soaps, powders, or synthetic underwear

• Lifestyle advice: Maintain hygiene, avoid irritants, and wear breathable cotton

If Balanitis is Recurrent

• Repeated infections could be due to tight foreskin (phimosis)

• In such cases, surgical treatment like circumcision may be advised

• Modern circumcision techniques are advanced: laser-based, daycare procedure, minimal pain, fast recovery
