Extractions: Weight Control WHAT IS INFLAMMATION OF THE PENIS Balanitis is an irritation of the glans or tip of the penis. It occurs most often in men who are uncircumcised. Men who have diabetes or have a narrowed foreskin that can't be pulled back easily are also more susceptible to this condition. CAUSES OF BALANITIS a urinary tract infection a yeast infection a build-up of a skin secretion called smegma irritation from clothing contraceptive foams or creams WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT BALANITIS Thoroughly wash your penis and scrotum with soap and water twice a day. If an irritant such as contraceptive foam or an article of clothing is causing the problem, avoid using it. Wash your undergarments in a detergent that is designed for sensitive skin. Contact your doctor if your penis is irritated for more than one day. Your doctor can prescribe a soothing ointment to ease the irritation and an antibiotic cream or tablets to treat the infection and relieve the swelling. THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD HYGIENE Keeping the penis clean is an important step to avoiding balanitis.

Extractions: Essential facts Balanitis is an inflammation of the glans (head) of the penis. It usually causes redness and/or a blotchy rash on the glans, sometimes with a discharge. The condition may be itchy or uncomfortable but often feels completely normal. Balanitis is not sexually transmitted. It results from an overgrowth of organisms which are normally present on the skin of the glans. The condition most commonly occurs in men who have a foreskin (i.e. have not been circumcised). The environment under the foreskin is warm and moist, and these conditions often favour the growth of the organisms that cause balanitis. These organisms are especially likely to multiply and cause inflammation if moisture is allowed to persist under the foreskin for a while. This may occur if you have not washed for a couple of days, or sometimes after sexual activity (vaginal, oral or anal - with or without a condom). One common organism associated with balanitis is a yeast known as Candida albicans . Balanitis may occur because of excessive growth of Candida , due to moisture and warmth under the foreskin.

This usually responds very easily to gentle cleansing, antibiotic ointment, and perhaps an oral antibiotic for a few days.

Extractions: This page is a menu of menus. The prepuce once was considered to have no value. The medical profession treated any ailment of the prepuce by circumcision. Today, however, the prepuce is considered to be of value to its owner and there is ever increasing interest in the preservation of this tissue. The prepuce has been demonstrated to have immunological functions and properties , which protect its owner from disease, and to be erogenous tissue with important functions in human sexual response. Also, there is increasing interest in protecting the human rights of children under international law. These menus provide information on conservative treatment of medical problems of the prepuce so that the prepuce may be preserved intact whenever possible.

Introduction Balanitis is defined as inflammation of the glans penis. The condition often involves the prepuce and the term balano-posthitis should be used. 1.2. Aetiology According to the different aetiology, balanitis can be classified into various clinical varieties: 1.2.1. Infective This is the commonest cause of balanitis. 1) Candidal balanitis Candidal balanitis most frequently follows intercourse with an infected sexual partner. However, infection may occur without sexual contact, usually in diabetic patients or patients taking oral antibiotics. The pathogenicity of the yeast depends on the host factors. There is no significant difference between carriage rate in circumcised and uncircumcised male although the chance of symptomatic infection is higher in the uncircumcised men. The clinical features include a non-purulent surface, a slightly scaling edge and eroded satellite pustules. The groins may also be affected. Microscopy and culture confirm the diagnosis and should be taken from both partners and from the anal as well as the genital areas. Recurrent candidal balanitis causes fissuring of the prepuce, with fibrosis and sclerosis.

http://www.cirp.org/library/disease/balanitis/birley/

Extractions: Objective - To evaluate clinical features and diagnostic investigations in patients with recurrent or unresponsive balanitis in order to institute rational management. Design - Forty three patients presenting to a genitourinary medicine clinic with recurrent or persistent balanitis were studied. All patients were asked whether they had a history of atopic illness and about their practice of genital washing. All patients were investigated by taking a swab specimen from the preputial area for bacterial and viral culture and 30 underwent biopsy of the affected skin. Follow up was between three and six months. Setting - Outpatient genitourinary medicine clinic, St. Mary's Hospital, London, UK Results - In 31 (72%) of the patients a diagnosis of irritant dermatitis was made. In comparison with the remaining patients, they had a greater lifetime incidence of atopic illness and more frequent daily washing of the genitals with soap.

Extractions: J. M. ESCALA and A.M.K. RICKWOOD Department of Urology, Royal Liverpool Children's Hospital , Liverpool Acute balanoposthitis or, more popularly, balanitis, is a common complaint of boys yet one which receives no more than cursory attention in textbooks and none in the literature otherwise. We make a modest attempt to remedy this deficiency. Patients and Methods We report 100 consecutive boys seen in our clinic over a 3½-year period when a diagnosis of balanitis; 32 had presented directly to the Accident and Emergency Department, when a swab of purulent discharge from the preputial orifice had been obtained for bacteriological examination. In order to assess the incidence of the condition, we questioned 200 consecutive boys aged 7 to 14 years passing through the outpatient clinic for a history of balanitis; excluded were those previously circumcised for other reasons. Results Incidence Of the 200 boys questioned, 3 definitely had balanitis and 5 gave a history suggestive of the disease. Age distribution Most were aged 2 to 5 years; only 5 boys were not toilet trained. Three were under 2, 15 were either 6 or 7 and 6 were either 8 or 9.

Se puede presentar inflamación bacteriana, fúngica, viral o no infecciosa. La exposición a jabones cáusticos o el hecho de no enjuagar adecuadamente el jabón del pene al bañarse también puede producir inflamación. Asimismo, otras enfermedades que pueden originar balanitis son el síndrome de Reiter y el liquen escleroatrófico. Síntomas Volver al comienzo Signos y exámenes Volver al comienzo El dermatólogo o el urólogo debe ser capaz de diagnosticar la causa de la balanitis mediante el solo examen; sin embargo, con frecuencia, es necesario practicar pruebas adicionales, como un cultivo de piel para detectar virus, hongos o bacterias y, en ocasiones, se requiere de una biopsia cutánea. Tratamiento Volver al comienzo El tratamiento depende de la causa de la balanitis. Por ejemplo, la balanitis infecciosa se puede tratar con antibióticos orales o tópicos. Algunos casos de balanitis que se presentan en relación con enfermedades cutáneas podrían responder a las cremas esteroides tópicas. En casos severos se recomienda la circuncisión.
