About the Disease

Cavernitis is an inflammation of the erectile tissues of the penis, which can cause erectile dysfunction and affect the quality of a man's sexual 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 Ihilov Clinic, the 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 tissues. 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 Medications

Anti-inflammatory medications are also widely used for the treatment of cavernitis. They aim to reduce inflammation in the erectile tissues of the penis and alleviate pain and discomfort. One of the most commonly used anti-inflammatory medications is Naxatin, which is a neurotropic anti-inflammatory agent. It reduces inflammation and pain sensations, improves microcirculation, and promotes rapid recovery. Another anti-inflammatory medication that may be used for the treatment of cavernitis is diclofenac. This medication has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects, and also reduces tissue swelling.

Anti-inflammatory medications may be used in combination with antibiotics and other symptomatic medications to achieve the best treatment effect. Injection therapy may also be used, where special medications aimed at treating the disease are injected into the affected areas of the erectile tissues.

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 tissues of the penis are surgically removed. This method can be effective in treating superficial forms of cavernitis. In more severe cases, resection (partial removal) of the erectile tissues 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 Ihilov is conducted in three stages: initial examination, laboratory and instrumental studies, and a specialists' 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 which 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 of the penis.

- Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess the condition of the erectile tissues.

- Duplex scanning to assess blood flow in the penis.

- Erectography to study erectile function.

- Cavernosometry to assess the volume of the erectile tissues.

- Biopsy of the erectile tissues to identify tumours or other pathologies.


On the third day, a consultation of specialists is held, including leading experts on cavernitis. During the consultation, the doctors evaluate the results of the studies, discuss the diagnosis, the overall condition of the patient, and develop a therapeutic plan. The advantages of a collegial approach are that it allows for the most accurate diagnosis and the most effective treatment plan to be developed. Additionally, the collegial approach allows doctors to share experiences and knowledge, which contributes to improving the quality of medical care.
