How is Balanitis Treatment Diagnosed?

Diagnosis involves:

Urologist examines the penis for redness, swelling, and lesions.
Includes past infections, hygiene practices, and underlying conditions.
Swab samples from the affected area may be tested for bacteria, fungi, or viruses.
Used to check for diabetes, STIs, or systemic infections.
Conducted if balanitis is suspected to be allergic in nature.

Early diagnosis ensures treatment is tailored to the exact cause.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is balanitis contagious?

Balanitis itself is not contagious, but if caused by an infection such as Candida or an STI, it can be transmitted to partners.

Can balanitis be cured permanently?

How painful is balanitis treatment?

Mild cases treated with creams are not painful. Surgical treatments like circumcision or laser are performed under anesthesia and cause minimal discomfort.

Can balanitis lead to serious complications?

Yes, untreated balanitis can lead to phimosis, recurrent infections, scarring, and in severe cases, urinary problems.

How do I know if I need surgery for balanitis?

If balanitis keeps coming back despite hygiene and medicines, or if you have phimosis, your doctor may recommend circumcision or laser treatment.
