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. Why balanitis occurs 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.

Help for sleepless parents Encyclopedia Index B balanitis Search balanitis Balanitis is a condition of uncircumcised males. If the foreskin is not retracted and the penis not cleaned under the foreskin properly, infection and inflammation of the surface of the glans penis can occur. This usually responds very easily to gentle cleansing, antibiotic ointment, and perhaps an oral antibiotic for a few days. Posthitis is inflammation of the prepuce (foreskin) for the same reason as above and is treated the same way.

Phimosis is a tight preputial ring often made of scar tissue preventing retraction of the foreskin. It may be primary, or secondary to recurrent infection Phimosis may produce urinary obstruction with ballooning of the foreskin In adults phimosis can lead to chronic inflammation and carcinoma This is different to a simple non-retractile foreskin , a normal finding in many boys Occasionally the two can be hard to differentiate and phimosis may only be diagnosed in retrospect when there is no improvement Management Boys aged under 7 with an asymptomatic non-retractile foreskin require no treatment and may be followed up annually Parents may be reassured that the condition nearly always resolves over time Referral may be considered if there are symptoms or parental concerns An obvious true phimosis requires a referral Balanitis/ Balanoposthitis (Infection of the glans/glans and foreskin) Infection may be bacterial or fungal (the latter is more common in diabetics) Infections are sometimes recurrent Management Each episode should be treated with local hygiene and antibiotics Oral antibiotics may be required if there is systemic illness

BALANITIS, BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS AND OTHER GENITAL CONDITIONS CHAPTER 37 1. BALANITIS 1.1. 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.

Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration ... Additional Info What Is It? Balanitis is an infection or inflammation of the skin on the head (glans) of the penis. In men who are not circumcised, this area is covered by a flap of skin known as the foreskin, or prepuce. Balanitis can occur in both circumcised and uncircumcised men, although it occurs more commonly in men who are not circumcised. Young boys generally are affected only if they have a very tight foreskin that is difficult to pull back.

Balanitis is a term used to include all inflammation of the skin covering the head (glans) of the penis. What causes balanitis? The most common causes are: irritants: neglected hygiene and tight foreskin (particularly in young boys) lead to irritation by smegma (a cheesy substance secreted under the foreskin). seborrhoeic dermatitis: an inflammatory rash of uncertain cause that is commonly seen on the scalp, behind the ears and in the skin folds. thrush (candida): although this infection is probably over-diagnosed by doctor and patient.
