What causes the skin of the glans groove to break?

The health of the male glans is very important. However, balanitis is a common condition. There are several types of balanitis, and the symptoms of different types of balanitis are also different. Skin breakage in the glans groove is a common manifestation, which makes the patient feel uncomfortable and affects normal life. Many men do not know what causes this phenomenon. How does the skin breakage in the glans groove occur? Let's take a look.

1. What causes the skin of the glans groove to break?

It is probably caused by balanitis, which is mostly caused by friction from underwear, trauma, or local irritation from soap or detergent.

2. Typical symptoms of galactitis

The foreskin and glans of the penis are flushed, and there may be white cheese-like discharge.

3. Common symptoms

①Acute superficial glansitis, characterized by edema, erythema, exudation, erosion, secondary infection with purulent secretions, easy formation of ulcers, and spontaneous pain;

② Annular erosive glans, the damage is ring-shaped, or the ring has cheese-like smegma, which is easy to break into shallow ulcers over time;

③Plasmacytic balanitis: the damage is plaque-like, with a smooth or desquamated or moist surface, and the infiltration is more obvious;

④ Mica-like and keratotic pseudoepitheliomatous glansitis: the glans is damaged, infiltrated and hypertrophic, with excessive keratinization and mica-like crusts. The affected area loses its normal elasticity and atrophies over time.

4. Other symptoms

If the disease invades the outer foreskin and scrotum, scaly erythema may be seen. If the navicular fossa is involved, frequent urination and dysuria may occur. Local burning sensation and itching may occur. Occasionally, fulminant edematous balanitis may occur, mainly manifested by obvious edema and severe itching of the foreskin of the penis, with superficial ulcers.

5. Treatment principles for prepuce hyperplasia

Early circumcision is the main treatment method for this disease.

6. Treatment guidelines

For non-inflamed prepuce, surgery is not necessary as long as the prepuce is frequently turned up for cleaning. Sexual activity can be resumed after treatment. For those who have not received this treatment, the penis should be cleaned before and after sex. In addition, the sexual organs should be kept lubricated. During sex, the movements should not be vigorous to avoid incarcerated foreskin or frenulum tearing.

7. Surgical treatment

For those with foreskin that is too long, it is recommended to undergo circumcision before marriage.
