About the Disease
Cavernitis is an inflammation of the erectile tissue of the penis, which can cause erectile dysfunction and affect the quality of a man's sex life. However, cavernitis is a relatively rare disease and occurs much less frequently than, for example, prostatitis or erectile dysfunction.
Symptoms of cavernitis may include pain or discomfort in the penis, erectile dysfunction, increased size of the penis, and other signs of inflammation. Diagnosis of cavernitis includes examination by a urologist, ultrasound, and other diagnostic methods.

Treatment Methods for Cavernitis
At the Ichilov Clinic, treatment of cavernitis is handled by specialists with international training. Treatment regimens for cavernitis may include several methods, which we will discuss below.
Antibiotic Therapy
Antibiotics are widely used for the treatment of cavernitis, especially if it is caused by a bacterial infection. Antibiotic treatment aims to eliminate the infection, which is one of the causes of inflammation of the erectile tissue. The choice of a specific antibiotic depends on the type of bacteria causing the infection and their sensitivity to antibiotics. The duration of the antibiotic course may also vary depending on the severity of the disease and the response to treatment.
Treatment with Anti-inflammatory Drugs
Anti-inflammatory drugs are also widely used for the treatment of cavernitis. They aim to reduce inflammation in the erectile tissue of the penis and alleviate pain and discomfort. One of the most commonly used anti-inflammatory drugs is nexstatin, which is a neurotropic anti-inflammatory agent. It reduces inflammation and pain, improves microcirculation, and promotes rapid recovery. Another anti-inflammatory drug that may be used to treat cavernitis is diclofenac. This drug has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects, as well as reducing tissue swelling.
Anti-inflammatory drugs may be used in combination with antibiotics and other symptomatic medications to achieve the best treatment effect. An injection therapy method may also be used, where special medications aimed at treating the disease are injected into the affected areas of the erectile tissue.
Surgical Intervention
Surgical treatment of cavernitis may be necessary if conservative therapy is ineffective or if complications develop. Depending on the severity of the disease and its stage of development, several different surgical intervention methods may be applied.
One of the most common methods is cavernectomy, in which the affected areas of the erectile tissue are surgically removed. This method may be effective in treating superficial forms of cavernitis. In more severe cases, resection (partial removal) of the erectile tissue may be required, which may be accompanied by the implantation of special prostheses to restore erectile function.
Diagnostic Methods for the Disease
The diagnosis of cavernitis at Ichilov is conducted in three stages: initial examination, laboratory and instrumental studies, and a specialist consultation.
Upon arrival at the clinic, the patient meets with the attending physician. If cavernitis is suspected, the doctor examines the penis for signs of inflammation, such as swelling and redness. He also decides what laboratory and instrumental studies may be needed to confirm the diagnosis and determine the severity of the disease. The tests ordered by the doctor are usually conducted on the second day.
The following types of diagnostic tests may be ordered when making a diagnosis:
- Complete blood and urine tests.
- Urine culture to identify infection pathogens.
- Ultrasound examination of the penis.
- Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess the condition of the erectile tissue.
- Duplex scanning to assess blood flow in the penis.
- Erectography to study erectile function.
- Cavernosometry to assess the volume of the erectile tissue.
- Biopsy of the erectile tissue to identify tumors or other pathologies.
On the third day, a specialist consultation is held, including leading experts in cavernitis. During the consultation, doctors evaluate the results of the studies, discuss the diagnosis, the overall condition of the patient, and develop a therapeutic plan. The advantages of the collegial approach are that it allows for the most accurate diagnosis and the development of the most effective treatment plan. Additionally, the collegial approach enables doctors to share experiences and knowledge, which contributes to improving the quality of medical care.
