Penis Disorders
Penis Disorders Treatment
Penile disorders include a range of conditions affecting the foreskin, skin, shape, erection, blood flow or other structures of the penis. These conditions may cause pain, difficulty during sexual activity, problems passing urine or visible changes to the penis.
Dr. Sumit Chaudhari provides confidential evaluation and treatment for penile disorders at Usha Urology & Andrology Clinic in Pimple Saudagar, Pune.
Common Penis Disorders:
Conditions that may require urological or andrology evaluation include:
- Phimosis
- Paraphimosis
- Balanitis
- Peyronie’s disease
- Penile curvature
- Erectile dysfunction
- Priapism
- Penile injury
- Penile skin or foreskin abnormalities
- Suspicious penile lumps or lesions
Treatment varies according to the underlying diagnosis.
Phimosis:
Phimosis occurs when the foreskin is too tight to retract comfortably over the head of the penis.
In adults, symptoms may include:
- Difficulty retracting the foreskin
- Pain during erection
- Recurrent inflammation
- Difficulty cleaning beneath the foreskin
- Discomfort during sexual activity
Treatment depends on the severity and cause and may include medicines or circumcision in selected cases.
Paraphimosis:
Paraphimosis occurs when a retracted foreskin becomes trapped behind the head of the penis and cannot return to its normal position.
This can cause:
- Swelling
- Pain
- Tightness behind the glans
Paraphimosis requires prompt medical attention because severe swelling can affect blood flow.
Balanitis:
Balanitis refers to inflammation of the head of the penis.
Symptoms may include:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Itching
- Soreness
- Discharge
- Discomfort beneath the foreskin
Possible causes include infection, irritation, diabetes and certain skin conditions. Treatment depends on the cause.
Peyronie's Disease and Penile Curvature:
Peyronie’s disease involves scar tissue within the penis that can cause:
- Penile curvature
- Pain during erections
- Change in penile shape
- Difficulty during sexual intercourse
- Erectile dysfunction in some patients
Minor natural curvature does not always require treatment. Significant new curvature, pain or difficulty with sexual activity should be evaluated.
Priapism:
Priapism is a prolonged erection that persists without normal sexual stimulation. A prolonged painful erection, particularly one lasting several hours, requires urgent medical attention because delayed treatment can damage penile tissue.
Penile Injury:
Penile trauma may occur during sexual activity, accidents or other injuries. Sudden pain, swelling, bruising, deformity or loss of erection after an injury should be assessed promptly.
Suspicious Penile Lesions:
Persistent penile ulcers, lumps, skin changes, non-healing wounds or unexplained bleeding should be medically evaluated. Many penile skin problems are benign, but proper examination is required to identify the cause.

- Medical history
