Foreskin Infection Treatment in Bangalore | Genesiss Multi-Speciality Hospital

Foreskin infection is a common urological condition where the skin covering the head of the penis becomes inflamed, painful, or infected. It may cause redness, swelling, discharge, itching, or difficulty retracting the foreskin. At Genesiss Multi-Speciality Hospital, foreskin infection treatment focuses on identifying the cause, clearing the infection, and preventing recurrence.

What Is a Foreskin Infection?

A foreskin infection occurs when bacteria, fungi, or irritants affect the foreskin area. It is more commonly seen in uncircumcised men and may develop due to poor hygiene, moisture buildup, diabetes, or repeated infections.

If not treated timely, foreskin infections can progress to tight foreskin, balanitis, or balanoposthitis.

  • Redness or swelling of the foreskin persists
  • Pain or burning sensation is present
  • Discharge or foul smell develops

A urologist evaluates the condition before starting treatment.
