Best Penis Foreskin Infection Treatment in Karimnagar at KK Virat Hospital

Several factors contribute to the development of foreskin infection, including:

•  Bacterial or Fungal Infections – Overgrowth of harmful microorganisms under the foreskin
•  Poor Genital Hygiene – Lack of regular cleaning leads to accumulation of bacteria and smegma
•  Uncontrolled Diabetes – High blood sugar levels increase the risk of infections
•  Phimosis or Paraphimosis – Tight foreskin trapping moisture and bacteria
•  Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) – Certain infections may cause inflammation
• Excessive Friction or Rubbing – Irritation due to aggressive handling or masturbation

Men who do not clean their foreskin regularly or have a sensitive prepuce are at a higher risk of developing recurrent foreskin infections.

Foreskin infections often present with noticeable signs, which may worsen over time if left untreated.

• Redness and swelling of the foreskin
• Pain and irritation around the penis
• Foul-smelling discharge from under the foreskin
• Itching or burning sensation
• Difficulty retracting the foreskin (in cases of phimosis)
• Bleeding or ulcers (in severe cases)

If you notice any of these symptoms, seeking medical attention promptly is crucial to prevent complications.

At KK Virat Hospital, Karimnagar, our specialists diagnose foreskin infections through:

• Physical Examination – Doctors examine the foreskin for inflammation, redness, and swelling.
•  Swab Test – A sample is taken from the affected area to identify bacterial or fungal infections.
• Urine Test – This test rules out diabetes and other underlying health issues.

In most cases, a detailed discussion of symptoms and medical history helps doctors determine the cause and severity of the infection.

Although minor foreskin infections may subside within a week, medical consultation is necessary if:

• Symptoms persist for more than seven days
• The infection recurs frequently
• You notice bleeding, pus, or foul-smelling discharge
• The pain and swelling worsen despite home care

Ignoring foreskin infections can lead to chronic balanitis, painful urination, and difficulty with sexual activity.

Medical Management (Non-Surgical Treatment)

For mild to moderate foreskin infections, doctors may recommend:

• Antibiotic or Antifungal Medications – To control bacterial and fungal infections
• Hygiene Practices – Regular cleaning of the foreskin with warm water
• Pain Relievers & Anti-Inflammatory Creams – To reduce discomfort and swelling

However, for recurrent or severe infections, surgical intervention may be required.

Surgical Treatment – Circumcision

Circumcision is a permanent solution for recurrent foreskin infections, phimosis, and chronic balanitis. It involves the removal of the foreskin and can be performed using different techniques:

Types of Circumcision Surgery:

• Laser Circumcision – Minimally invasive, no stitches, quick healing, and minimal bleeding
• Stapler Circumcision – Uses a medical stapler for precision and faster recovery
• Conventional (Open) Circumcision – Traditional surgical method involving scalpels and sutures

After circumcision surgery, proper post-operative care is essential for faster recovery and prevention of complications.

• Start walking within a day or two, but avoid heavy activities
• Take prescribed pain relievers to manage discomfort
• Do not shower until the bandage is removed
• Keep the surgical site clean and dry
• Avoid using soaps, creams, or gels on the area
• Follow doctor’s instructions for dressing changes

Most patients recover within 7-10 days and can resume normal activities soon after.

While circumcision is a safe procedure, some potential risks include:

• Bleeding from the incision site (rare but possible)
•  Infections may occur if post-surgery hygiene is not maintained
•  Delayed wound healing or minor scarring
• Foreskin-related issues due to improper surgery
•  Allergic reaction to anesthesia
