Redness of the glans folds

In life, many men do not pay special attention to their own physical hygiene, which often leads to some impact on physical health. Especially the private parts of the body should be paid more attention. Many men have been troubled by glansitis in life. When suffering from glansitis, the patient will have redness in the affected area. If not treated in time, it will lead to the expansion of the disease.

Causes of redness of glans folds

1. Redness of the glans is an early symptom of balanitis. Common complications of balanitis include prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis, vas deferens disease, urinary system diseases such as cystitis, etc. These complications tend to appear together, damaging the male reproductive system, and over time will affect male sexual function, such as symptoms of impotence and premature ejaculation. The worst thing is that balanitis can also damage male spermatogenesis, causing a decrease in sperm quality, leading to male infertility.

2. Redness of the glans may also be a symptom of mixed infection. For example, when a woman has vaginitis, the pathogens of vaginitis, fungi and trichomonas, can also cause redness of the glans and urethritis in men. Infections with Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, fungi, gonorrhea or other bacteria can all cause it. Therefore, if you find signs of redness on the glans, you should go for an examination as soon as possible to rule out the possibility of disease.

The dangers of balanitis

1. Lead to urinary system diseases. Balanitis can easily lead to ascending infection of the urinary system, which is generally common in cystitis, nephritis, pyelonephritis, etc., especially chronic balanitis that has not been cured for a long time is most likely to lead to urinary system diseases. Improper treatment in the acute stage can be life-threatening.

2. It can cause sexual dysfunction. During the period of foreskin and glans inflammation, the sensory nerves of the glans are in a sensitive period. In addition, the damage caused by inflammation makes it easy to have premature ejaculation during sexual life, which can lead to impotence in the long run. In addition, the hypertrophic narrow ring formed by the adhesion of the foreskin shrinkage will cause the penis to be pulled backwards and compressed during erection, resulting in erectile dysfunction.

3. It can cause male infertility. Due to long-term stimulation of inflammation, the immune system regulates sperm and sexual response, and the inflammatory secretions hidden in the foreskin enter the vagina together with semen during the process, reducing the quality of semen and destroying ovarian cells, leading to male infertility.
