Can a glans ulcer heal on its own?

Glans ulcers often indicate the occurrence of balanitis. Glans ulcers are divided into infectious and non-infectious types. Generally, non-infectious ones are caused by neglecting personal hygiene, not changing clothes for a long time, or because the foreskin is too long, while infectious ones are caused by unclean sexual behavior. After suffering from glans ulcers, you must pay attention to cleaning and change clothes frequently. If it is caused by the foreskin being too long, it can be removed through surgery.

Causes

Penile ulcers indicate the presence of balanitis. The causes of balanitis can be infectious or non-infectious. Infectious balanitis is more common in clinical practice. Infectious balanitis is often caused by unclean sexual intercourse, infection with chlamydia, trichomonas, candida albicans, mycoplasma, gonorrhea or other bacteria; non-infectious factors are mostly due to excessive foreskin and insufficient cleaning. The unclean matter between the foreskin and the glans, that is, smegma, will slowly accumulate, irritating the local foreskin and mucosa to cause inflammation. Leading to penile ulcers.

Symptoms

1. The growth is in the shape of a cockscomb, thorn, cauliflower, or nipple, with an uneven surface, a feeling of oppression, or a foul odor.

2. Pain and itching in the genitals may occur, and the patient may experience hematuria and difficulty urinating.

3. Large tumor-like growths may grow in the vulva and anus.

treatment

In case of penile ulcer, you need to pay attention to local hygiene and clean the glans and foreskin every day. If the foreskin is too long, you need to treat it in time and perform penile circumcision when necessary. At the same time, it is also necessary to clean the smegma in time.
