Issue/Symptom of the Day

Balanitis

Balanitis (balanoposthitis) is inflammation around the foreskin of the penis, most common in uncircumcised men. Contributing factors can range from hygiene, other skin disorders, diabetes, and contact dermatitis. Symptoms include pain, redness, and a foul-smelling discharge from under the foreskin.

In most cases, from a Chinese Medicine theory perspective, the "condition/issue" is not exclusively relevant. This section is here as a way to communicate potential approaches and present logical groupings of techniques and information. Treatments approaches would generally be designed with the diagnostic pattern(s) the person is presenting with in mind. See our blog post, "treating the cause vs. the symptoms" for an introduction to the diagnostic and treatment process.

We also have a meta list grouped by tcm diagnostic patterns that you may explore.
