Redness, swelling and pain in the glans coronal sulcus

The male glans is actually prone to many diseases, which are particularly common in clinical medicine. There are redness, swelling and pain in the coronal sulcus of the glans, which are mostly related to bacterial infection. If the infection is not treated in time, it may aggravate the condition and cause local erosion and exudation. The infection of the glans is generally caused by galactitis. The details are introduced one by one in this article. If you are interested, let's take a look.

Some balanitis caused by bacteria and fungi can be contagious, such as infection with Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma and Gonorrhea. The most common contagious balanitis is Candidal balanitis. Some balanitis is not contagious, such as non-infectious factors including local trauma, friction, contraceptives, soap and detergents, etc., which can manifest as edema, erythema, erosion, exudation and even bleeding. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, it can cause suppuration and form ulcers.

The transmission of glansitis is related to the factors that cause it. Syphilis can also cause glansitis, but usually after the formation of the chancre, a white fused surface will appear on the glans and the glans will become edematous. It is different from general infectious glansitis, in which the entire glans becomes red and swollen, has a foul odor, and has secretions. If it is suspected to be caused by Treponema pallidum, a blood test can be done to check the syphilis serum reaction and agglutination test to distinguish between syphilis and general bacteria or other infectious glansitis.

Glanitis is often caused by excessive foreskin or phimosis. Since glanitis is an inflammation of the inner plate of the foreskin and the glans penis, and a lipid substance secreted in the normal foreskin cavity, when the foreskin is excessively long or phimosis occurs, this substance can accumulate into smegma to irritate the foreskin and glans penis and cause glanitis. Glanitis not only harms one's own health, but also affects the normal life of the couple, bringing many effects to the wife. Through sexual intercourse, patients with glanitis will often cause harm to women, which can cause gynecological diseases such as vaginitis and cervicitis in women.

The transmission route of glansitis is mostly unclean sexual behavior. Glansitis can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation and other factors. Clinically, there are many types of acute superficial glansitis, candidal glansitis, and trichomonal glansitis. Therefore, it is recommended that you go to a regular andrology hospital for examination and treatment. After the pathogen is identified, symptomatic treatment should be given. Before complete recovery, it is best not to have sex to avoid infecting your female partner and causing unnecessary harm.

Because balanitis can lead to a series of complications. Since inflammation often causes pain, redness, swelling, and itching, it can lead to urethral stenosis. Patients may develop dry glansitis, phimosis, incarceration, and even sexual dysfunction in severe cases. Therefore, patients should pay attention to local hygiene. Clean the glans and foreskin every day. If the foreskin is too long, it should be treated in time. If necessary, circumcision should be performed. It is necessary to clean the smegma in time. Avoid unclean sexual intercourse and keep yourself clean. If one of the spouses suffers from a sexual organ disease, sexual life should be suspended and treatment should be provided in time. If the couple suffers from trichomonas or Candida albicans infection, the couple should be treated at the same time.

Clinically, balanitis can be divided into two types: primary and recurrent. Below we will talk about the early symptoms of male primary balanitis and male recurrent balanitis respectively.

Male primary glansitis Male primary genital scrotum is prone to occur in the glans, coronal sulcus, urethral orifice and penile body, and may be complicated by urethritis, cystitis or prostatitis. It is also accompanied by fever, general malaise, myalgia, meningitis or sacral nervous system dysfunction. The severe stage of the disease can last for 6-7 days, then gradually ease and fully recover in 3-6 weeks. Viral blood syndrome may occur from glansitis, causing hepatitis, encephalitis, gastroenteritis and adrenal dysfunction, which endangers our lives.

Male recurrent glansitis Male recurrent glansitis refers to the recurrence of infection after the disease is cured, or the disease is not completely cured and causes the disease. The symptoms are basically the same as primary glansitis. Usually blisters appear at the original rash site, which is itchy and painful at first, and then groups of blisters appear and then become abscesses; after rupturing, erosions and ulcers are formed, which are red, swollen and painful, and finally healed by scabs. Recurrent glansitis usually recurs within 1 to 4 months after the primary infection.
