Understanding Balanoposthitis

Balanoposthitis is inflammation of both the head of the penis and the foreskin together — a step beyond balanitis. It causes marked redness, swelling and discomfort, and can make the foreskin hard to move.

Treatment starts with hygiene, an antifungal or antibiotic, and control of any underlying diabetes. Repeated attacks, or a foreskin left scarred and tight, are treated with circumcision.

Common Symptoms

If you have one or more of these, it's worth speaking to a specialist.

Redness and swelling of both the glans and the foreskin
Difficulty retracting the foreskin during an attack
Discharge, odour and soreness
Pain on passing urine
Splitting or cracking of the foreskin
Frequent recurrences, often with poorly controlled diabetes

Our specialists use the latest minimally invasive techniques wherever possible — smaller incisions, less bleeding and a faster return to daily life.

Every patient has a full pre-surgical evaluation to decide the most effective approach, and a multidisciplinary team supports your health before, during and after the procedure.

Patient stories

Real people, real recoveries

A few words from patients whose treatment was coordinated through Ayushman Surgicare.

“The kidney stone pain put me in the ER twice. The RIRS procedure broke it up with a laser, no cuts, and I was home the next day. They also gave me a plan so it doesn't happen again.”
RRamesh G.RIRS (Kidney Stone) · Hyderabad
“I'd been getting up four times a night to pass urine. The laser prostate procedure fixed it — and my sleep, and my wife's, is finally back to normal.”
PPrakash V.Enlarged Prostate Surgery · Uppal
“The recurrent infections under the foreskin were miserable. The stapler circumcision took fifteen minutes, barely any swelling, and I haven't had a problem since.”
AA patient, 31Stapler Circumcision · Kukatpally
“My teenage son woke up with severe testicular pain at 2am. They saw us immediately, took him to theatre within the hour, and saved the testicle.”
SSunitha R.Testicular Torsion Surgery · Secunderabad
“The hydrocele had got large enough to be uncomfortable at work. Day-care surgery, back at my desk in three days, and the Care Buddy checked in through the first week.”
MMohan D.Hydrocelectomy · Nacharam
“After we decided our family was complete I chose a vasectomy. The no-scalpel procedure was quick, the counselling was thorough, and the follow-up test confirmed everything worked.”
