Balanitis? Penis Tip Is Red And Sensitive For Years
Ever since I could remember the tip of my penis has been very sensitive to touch, even if I realize that uncircumcised mens' penises are somewhat sensitive to the touch, mine is like borderline impossible to feel without getting extreme discomfort. It's also quite reddish almost all the time. For quite a few years I know I wasn't cleaning it properly, and up until a couple years ago I know I had some smegma under the foreskin that I was too hesitant to peel off due to the pain. A couple years ago I finally decided to do it and got all of it off, and now I can pull the foreskin all the way back, but the discomfort is still there. I started using a balanitis cream thinking it would help, but it hasn't really done much. Do you have any idea as to what may be going on?
I'm 21 years old right now, if that matters.
Balanitis? Foreskin Clinging To The Penis Head
I recently had a episode of Balanitis. Doctors prescribed Canesten cream which was extremely effective within the first 2 days, after which my symptoms had slowly returned. I've had this on-going for some time to the point where I can't determine what is normal and what isn't however I do know that I'm still having the itching sensation and soreness. The redness is there occasionally but this is hard to identify sometimes as it looks perfectly normal sometimes and other times it does not..
I have also noticed a few other things too whether its related or not I don't know but I have noticed that my foreskin (even after getting out the shower) will have this "clinging to the penis head" issue. It's not "stuck" it simply peels back...like it was moist even though it's dry. This isn't there permanently but is there more often than not.
The only other issue i've noticed since having this balanitis is that my foreskin seems to cover the entire penis head (it never used to) it would normally sit around the top half of of the penis head with the tip visible. Now the foreskin will cover it completely and either need to be peeled back (as described above) or will simply be extending outwards of about 1 cm. Again i don't know how abnormal this is as i've seen picture on google and it is apparently normal but its just not how mine used to be so for me its abnormal.
I have been to the doctors and they seem to think im perfectly fine but will consider referring me but is there anyone here that has experienced this or knows how to treat it?
Balanitis? Stinging, Burning Sensation On Penis
I noticed yesterday that I had a stinging, burning sensation when my penis brushed against my boxers. Ouch!! When I checked it out the entire foreskin was red, inflamed and very sensitive. Not only that, but the glans is also red and sensitive to touch. I have a visible band around the head where the foreskin covers. Any advice fellas? Any OTC medications that work? I did google it and some say Lotrimin, I'm just a little cautious when it comes to my member. Any advice? Also, what say you? Do we soap or not? (BTW sorry if this posted twice.)
View 2 RepliesPenis Glans Infection - Balanitis, Candida Or Yeast?
I think I have balanitis - I have had a sore and red penis for over a year. It gets worse after sex because the thin skin covering the glans has bonded to the foreskin due to the infection and during sex it tears, causing an open split or wound. Some days it is very smooth and normal looking. It's like the thin skin of the glans has continued to grow over the ridge so I no longer have a ridge around the bottom of my penis - it's covered over. I feel like tearing it all around so I can expose the ridge but it is raw flesh underneath and would be a nightmare.
View 2 RepliesBXO (Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans) - White Area On Penis
Basically I think I have BXO, because there is this white area on my penis. Its underneath the head and also partially on my the inside of my foreskin. however, there are no hard lumps or skin like most of the articles that i read said. It looks more like its the skin itself, rather than something on the skin. I had this for a long time, and it has never bothered me. I did some research and quite frankly I'm kind of scared. Almost all the articles had the same information. and it listed symptoms like itching, pain, or being unable to retract foreskin of the penis. I can confirm that I have none of these symptoms. It doesn't itch, there's no pain, no irritation or anything whatsoever, this is why it has never really bothered my. however, it does look very much like what is described to be BXO, accept for the pain and itching etc. From what I have read, depending of the severeness of the disease, the only treatment that seems to be definitive is Circumcision, and I really don't want to resort to that. So my question is, how severe would my case be?, what are the possible treatments?
View 2 RepliesPenis Disorders :: Balanitis And C-Reactive Protein Test
I have what seems to be classic Balanitis. It seems to come and go. The glands of my penis look puffy and shiny when I am erect. This condition has been with me for about 5 years now and nobody seems to be able help me. One of the many doctors I have seen gave me a C-Reactive Protein test to test for infection in my body and nothing came up. Is this normal for Balanitis? Unfortunately I have to have an erection to show the puffiness of my penis glans and that is difficult when you're standing in front of a doctor.
Should balanitis show up in a C-Reactive protein test and how on earth can I get rid of this problem. I've used every anti fungal cream in the world as well as a myriad of other creams and nothing will cure it. It's starting to take a psychological effect on me. Please help.

I had unprotected sex with my Ex GF years ago. Well she happen to have a yeast infection.
Well as you know i got a male yeast infection. My symptoms were typical.I had itching, pain, redness, and hurt to pee. Well I was given one pill, a powder, a cream and sent on my way.
Well I had a rash at the tip of the penis. I still cannot get rid of the rash. I have tried TONS of different creams with no luck. Some actually cause more inflammation.
Well i have tried many home remedies with no luck as well.
My next plan is to go to a Dermatologist.
Just on a side note. At the time i was not circumcised. Then i went to a Urologist who suggested to get cut. So i did. But the rash did not go away.
From the research i have done I'm sure it is Balanitis.
Penis :: Post Circumcision - Take The Antibiotics For The 10 Days?
I've recently undergone a circumcision and have some queries however the surgeon who performed the surgery is on annual leave for a week. A few days after the procedure I noticed something wasn't quite right so I went to ED and as suspected had an infection. Would the fact that I had an infection mean that it could heal slower/incorrectly. I ask as one side of the stitches seems to be a little stretched and not sitting as tight as the other side. I was also prescribed oral antibiotics as well as an antibiotic cream by the ED doctor. I was told to take the oral antibiotics for 5 days but was given enough for 10 days by the pharmacist. Would there be any harm in taking the antibiotics for the full 10 days?
View 1 RepliesIntercourse / Orgasm :: Feel Like Peeing
I like to masturbate but not in the technical sense of the word. Mine is all about dirty mind games,reminiscing about a good sex I had or imagining my man working on me how I want him to etc.( I don't really have to touch myself , fingering and all that other stuff, if U get what I mean.) The effect is so mind blowing is incredible!!I am usually able to even get an orgasm!! but here is the problem, most of the time, when I get so aroused, I have this sudden urge to pee.I usually withhold the urge a bit longer, and the effect drives me even crazier, (in a sexual way) when I can no longer endure it, I have to make a quick dash to the bathroom if I can get to it in time, and even the gushing out of the pee is sweet and pleasurable in a relieving way.( almost like how guys feel when and after ejaculating)
Am not sure if I am squirting or I am peeing , that's the issue.I have had orgasms before(usually on my own)and when it happens, this peeing nonsense doesn't surface. I have also squirted naturally before so I kind of know the difference. Some fluid like water just gushed out of me 4m nowhere (it wasn't pee) I was in a state of shock myself at the time cuz i was still quiet inexperience. I was dating a total jackass, back then whom (when i think i about it today) did not know anything about female ejaculation. He made me feel so terrible and embarrassed about it, and got me thinking I had a sexual problem. it was after breaking up with him and more years of sexual experience that made me draw the conclusion that I actually squirted!! there have also been a few experiences with my recent ex where after the sex, we realised about half the bed was wet, I mean really wet, like someone literally poured water on the spot, (it didn't smell of pee either) but the interesting thing is we both never notice it until the whole deal is over, and he used to say I probably squirted, so i kinda know about the squirting thing.
My new man works on me really good, its just that every time he starts reaching that particularly moment when I think yeah, I'm about to come, I get the sudden urge to go and pee and I need to stop him before I spray us both with my fluid. when I go to the loo, I actually pee!!!....what's the connection?? I have tried peeing before the sex, but this always happens. I tot it was said that, the urinary tract or something is blocked during sex.
Am I peeing, or squirting or having an orgasm? I have had a few orgasms usually on my own where, this peeing nonsense did not surface. My whole body was just consumed with this feeling I can barely describe, I just remember that I usually feel weak and worn out when its passes. Sometimes I need to sleep or rest a good 10 mins or more before I can start getting naughty again.XD So I know what it feels like to have an orgasm as well.
This peeing feeling is equally sweet but its confusing and frustrating because when I stop to go and pee, I kinda kill the mood, and we have to start building the mood all over again.... and when I decide to hold on a bit, its feels nicer but am too conscious of it and i fear I might pee. Am I normal or I have a urinary tract infection or what? what can i do to stop these peeing urges?

Hysterectomy :: Mild Cystocele And Frequent Peeing
I went to the doctor as i am constantly running to the toilet. I also feel a lot of pressure. I am 46 years old. I am trying to loose weight but can't walk far as i then need to pee. I pee approx 15-20 times a day. Blood tests show no diabetes etc. My doctor examined me and says i have a cystocele, he said it wasn't as bad as he expected going by my symptoms. He did say tho that everything is crammed in there (whatever exactly that means i am not sure) He is referring me to get a pelvic ultrasound and then consult with gynecologist. He thinks i may benefit more from surgery as he thinks the other treatments don't work as well for me.
Anyone had similar symptoms with a mild cystocele?

View 1 RepliesBalanitis - Attempted Cures - Will Not Go Away
So for about a year now I have been struggling with what two doctors have told me is balanitis. I have tried a countless number of treatments many of which have helped significantly however I can never quite get it to completely go away. I am going to be quite specific so there will be a lot of details, first off it all started about one year ago, roughly a month or two after having sex for the first time. About a month after my first time having sex I started developing some symptoms such as a white discharge and an inflamed foreskin, I went to the doctor and had a full STD check. I came back negative for everything except for Streptococcus which was causing my symptoms, within a few days of taking some antibiotics I was fully cured (I should note that the doctor said he did not think the streptococcus was sexually transmitted, I should also mention that at this time I had reasonably bad phimosis). Anyway I’d say about a month passed after this and one day in the shower I noticed that some of the skin which was visible under my foreskin had a whitish discolouration, immediately I went up to my doctors and they told me this was balanitis. I was prescribed ‘pimafucort’, a mix of hydrocortisone and anti-fungal. I used this cream for a week or so and it took away all the whitened skin, it was difficult to apply due to my phimosis however I made do. I kept using this cream for a while after the whiteness had gone as I was told it would help get rid of my phimosis which it almost fully did. However, what I observed as my foreskin became more and more stretchable was a lesion/inflammation on the top side of my penis head (pictures below). I kept applying the cream to this and found that while it helped it never fully got rid of it, during this time I had did repeatedly visited my doctor to get his opinion however he said just to keep trying as sometimes this can be a difficult area to treat. He also gave me another option of cream ‘miconazole’ however this never fully worked either. A few months down the track of using these different creams things were getting better and then worse again however I finally stopped completely as I felt as though the creams were damaging my skin. Something I would like to note here is that during the time between curing the streptococcus and diagnosing the balanitis I had started taking 100mg of minocycline for my skin, I have found some research online which suggest this drug causes lesions on the penis and thus causes balanitis (Just something to think about). Desperate for another treatment I turned to coconut oil, within a matter of hours of using some my balanitis had almost reduced to nothing however as usual it got to a point where it was really good but wouldn’t quite fully heal and eventually my maintenance for it would slip and it would get worse again. That pretty much sums up the cycle I have dealt with for the past year, finding new ways to make it better but never enough for it to fully go. Below are some pictures of the balanitis at different stages, some you can see where it was almost cured and some where it was quite bad. I should note that it never gets uncomfortable/painful or worsens beyond its current lesion size, only on one occasion has it started producing a discharge but that was when I had not cleaned for a few days due to a camping trip. I cured this by cleaning and applying a mix of pimafucort and miconazole. If anyone has some advice for me you have no idea how much I would appreciate it I am desperate to get this cured as it really starting to affect my life.

Hydrogen Peroxide
Coconut Oil
Pimafucort
Miconazole
Garlic

Balanitis And Phimosis For Few Years Now
I’ve had a red/inflamed penis head for a couple of years now. My foreskin is tight when erect, which I think means I have mild phimosis (of which balanitis is often connected to).
Symptoms include - slight odour, red/inflamed, sore to touch, a bit of white/cream smegma build up around the head. Because I am not sexually active, it cannot be an STI and it is for that reason I have never thought much of it - I often rinse it in the shower, but have never really thought of going to the doctor, because it doesn’t really hurt that much.
From what I’ve researched it looks like fungal Balanitis. Can this be fixed with over the counter 1% Clotrimazole Canesten Cream? If so, I would like to try this first and then go to the doctor, if it doesn’t.
Balanitis - Red Spots Recurrence?
I'm a 26yo uncircumcised male. I've noticed a couple of times I have some red spots in my glans and the inside of the foreskin. This are not painful and they disappear quickly (a night, a day or so) and I've had a few recurrences. I notice sometimes white mucus, which it think it's smegma.
Apparently I got a negative test a few weeks ago, which the laboratory told me it was normal to get 0.00. However this was done before 8 weeks of my last contact.
Questions are:
1. Does this sound like Balanitis?
2. In which cases is balanitis a sign of herpes? Only during initial infection? Or recurrences too?
3. If it is caused by herpes, could it be painless? Could it be accompanied with smegma?
