The penis is located above the scrotum. It is made of spongy tissue and blood vessels. The shaft of the penis surrounds the urethra and is connected to the pubic
bone. The penis is vulnerable to many diseases
like balinitis. Balanitis is most common in uncircumcised
men. Causes include
skin disorders, infection, poor hygiene, uncontrolled diabetes and harsh soaps.
Symptoms include pain, redness and a foul-smelling discharge from under the
foreskin.
Treatment depends on the cause, but may require antibiotics, steroid creams or antifungal creams. In extreme cases, the foreskin may need to be removed (
circumcision). There is another disease which the penis can have. this is Pryonies Desiese.
Peyronie’
s disease is a type of ED that happens when scar tissue causes your penis to bend or curve unusually.
