Our health largely reflects our choice of lifestyle, diet and routine. Failing to maintain a healthy and positive lifestyle contributes to the development of several diseases.  Furthermore, for its uninterrupted action, a homeopathic treatment often requires several modifications to one’s diet and lifestyle. Mentioned below are some such dietary and lifestyle modifications that may help improve the efficacy of the homeopathic treatment of penis pain.

Do’s

• Take a healthy an nutritious diet
• Maintain personal hygiene and wear clean clothes, as unhygienic practices and unclean surroundings can be set off by unclean conditions
• Keep your environment dry or with minimal humidity. This will not only enhance recovery in case of infection but also prevent reccurrence of infection

Don’ts

• Avoid consumption of alcohol and tobacco during the treatment.
• Strong beverages are also avoided as they interfere with the working of homeopathic medicines
• Sour and spicy food such as chilly and pickles must be avoided
• Avoid wearing rough or woollen clothing as it may irritate the rash and result in swelling or infection

Being afflicted with a genital disease can be a deeply distressing situation for a person. Most people feel embarrassed and are not forthcoming in consulting a doctor about these issues. However, a consultation is imperative because a physician needs to carefully examine the area before prescribing a test or referring the patient to a urologist.

This is where homeopathy comes in. A person can vividly describe his condition to the homeopathic physician without the need for laboratory tests, unless absolutely necessary. Homeopathy also rules out the need for any kind of surgery in most cases, which is a welcome relief for most people. A reputed physician will carefully assess the condition and then prescribe the preferred medication. When taken in the right dosage, these remedies help in promoting overall health instead of suppressing disease symptoms.

Furthermore, homoepathic remedies are administered in highly diluted doses that are just sufficient to stimulate the body’s natural defences to fight the disease. Consequently, these remedies do not have any side effects. In cases where conventional procedures and allopathic medications fail to provide a perfect or desired cure, one can switch to homeopathy after consulting a physician. Alternatively, these remedies can be taken along with allopathic medicines for a speedy recovery

Several case studies report the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies in relieving penis pain associated with conditions which might have otherwise need to be operated surgically. In one such case of balanitis, homeopathic remedies like arsenic album, rhus toxicodendron, cinnabaris and others were deemed very beneficial and helped avoid surgery. 

In the case study, homeopathic treatment was found to be beneficial in relieving penis pain caused due to prostatitis without showcasing any of the common side effects seen with allopathic medications, for example, alpha blockers resulting in low blood pressure, dizziness, headaches and fainting. Swelling of the prostate and overall functioning of the urinary system were also reported to be improved.

Homeopathic remedies are administered in very small doses just enough to stimulate the immune system of the body to fight the disease, and are therefore free from side effects. However, undesirable effects may be seen if the dosage taken is not appropriate.

So,  it is advised to take the medications only after proper consultation with a reputed doctor.

Penis pain can be caused due to a number of conditions including balanitis, priapism, and fracture of the penis.  Conventional medicine often recommends surgical procedures for most of these conditions, which can take a toll on the body and need a long recovery period. Not to mention the high cost of treatment

On the other hand, homeopathic treatment for penis pain involves non-surgical methods which aim at treating the ailment from its root. Homeopathic remedies are prescribed based on the complete physical condition and medical condition of the patient, which, in turn, assures that the treatment is safe and without side effects.

This safety and efficacy of homeoapathic medicines make it a well-received and primary treatment option in uncomplicated cases of penis pain where immediate surgery is not required.
