Ayurvedic Treatment for Balanitis | Herbal Remedies

Can men get infections? Yes, men can get infections, too which can lead to a condition known as – Balanitis (inflammation of the head of the penis). Yeast infections in men are common because the fungus Candida that causes infections is generally present on the skin. Overgrowth of Candida due to some contributing factor such as – having sexual intercourse with a female who has a vaginal yeast infection can result.

Balanitis is more common in uncircumcised men. Penis problems in males can be a sign of an underlying health condition. Health issues that affect penis also impact other areas of life causing relationship problems which lead to stress and also harm self-confidence. In men, who are not circumcised, that area is covered by a flap of skin known as prepuce or foreskin. Balanitis can occur in both circumcised and uncircumcised men but it occurs more commonly in men who are not circumcised. Young boys are affected only if they have a very tight foreskin which is difficult to pull back. If man and his partner both have symptoms of a yeast infection or bacterial infection, it is important to be treated. According to modern medicine, most male yeast infections are easily treated with over-the-counter anti-fungal medications like-Clotrimazole (Mycelex, Lotrimin), various anti-biotic creams but it can be treated naturally with many herbal remedies as herbal remedies work on the root cause of the disease.

A variety of infections and skin conditions can cause balanitis. These include

  • Sexually transmitted diseases such as – herpes simplex.
  • Benign (non- cancerous) skin.
  • Irritation of the skin by soap, spermicidal jelly or detergents.
  • Infections with yeast (Candida) that live on the skin (most common cause).

Signs and symptoms of Balanitis are

  • Redness/Itching or burning sensation on the penis.
  • Areas of shiny and white skin on the penis.
  • Moist skin on the penis with areas of thick and white substance collecting in skin folds.

Men more likely to develop Balanitis from a yeast infection if they

  • Use of antibiotics for prolonged time
  • Have diabetes especially if the blood sugar is poorly controlled as high blood sugar causes elevated amounts of sugar in the urine and sugar- rich urine that dribbles on the glans provides a friendly environment for yeast and bacteria and people with poor control on diabetes have a harder time fighting infections.
  • Have an impaired immune system
  • Are over-weight
  • Aren’t circumcised
  • Practice poor hygiene

Diagnosis of Balanitis

Doctor can recognise balanitis immediately. A swab or scraping of skin is examined under a microscope. When balanitis doesn’t respond to treatment or appears different from a typical infection, then doctor may recommend a patient to see a dermatologist or skin biopsy is done.

Prevention – Men who are uncircumcised must practice a good hygiene and people with diabetes can prevent balanitis by controlling their blood sugar.

Causes of Balanitis according to Ayurveda
