Intro
Balanitis is inflammation (swelling) of the head of the penis (the glans), caused by a bacterial infection. The foreskin (the loose flap of skin covering the head of the penis) is often affected too.
Balanitis is common, and it can occur at any age. It happens a little more often in men who haven’t been circumcised (had their foreskin removed). It can usually be prevented with good hygiene and isn’t normally serious.
Treatment
The way balanitis is treated depends on what’s causing it. You can help to soothe pain and swelling at home using a salt bath while waiting for treatment to take effect. Wash the area carefully with warm water with enough kitchen salt added to it to make it taste like salt water.
As balanitis is usually caused by a candida (yeast) infection, it’s normally treated with an anti-yeast cream or a course of anti-yeast tablets. Some men develop balanitis due to an allergy to thrush in their partner’s vagina, so it may be that you both need treatment. Try to avoid having sex, or at least use a condom, while you are being treated for thrush, so that the infection doesn’t pass back to your partner. Most cases of balanitis clear up with treatment in three to five days.
If balanitis is caused by a bacterial infection, you will be given antibiotics to clear up the problem.
If balanitis is linked to an allergy or substance that irritates the penis, you may be given a mild steroid cream to reduce inflammation (swelling). You may need to use this as well as anti-yeast or antibiotic medication to reduce inflammation caused by infection. If the glans is infected then a steroid cream shouldn’t be used on its own because it could make the infection worse.
If you have phimosis and you keep getting repeat attacks of balanitis, then circumcision (removal of the foreskin) may be considered.

Nama pun sunat, sunatlah hukumnya. Mana ada wajib. Tapi lagi elok buat. Kalau tak buat, tapi pandai jaga kebersihan tak apa. Kalau ISO masuk kategori Preventive Action lah.
