Glans epidermal folds

There is a reason for every tiny change in the body, so we should pay more attention to our own physical condition so that we can find problems as soon as possible and deal with them. One of the last organs of men is their reproductive organs, and this part is also the most susceptible to bacterial infection. If a man finds that his glans has abnormal wrinkles, the cause of this problem is likely to be glansitis caused by fungal infection. If it is not treated in time, it is likely to cause the diseased area to deteriorate further.

The most direct cause of wrinkles on the male glans may be glanitis. Let's take a look at the specific introduction below.

Symptoms of balanitis

1. Acute superficial balanitis: It is mostly caused by friction from underwear, trauma, or local irritation from soap or detergent. It manifests as edema, erythema, exudation, erosion, secondary infection with purulent secretions, easy formation of ulcers, and spontaneous pain.

2. Annular erosive glansitis: The glans and prepuce inflammation and damage are annular, or the annular has cheese-like smegma, which is easy to break into superficial ulcers over time. If the annular characteristics are lost, it is difficult to distinguish from superficial glansitis. This disease can exist alone or as a mucosal symptom of Reiter syndrome.

3. Plasmocytic balanoposthitis: It is more common in middle-aged people. It is a chronic inflammation of single or multiple lesions that lasts for a long time. The damage is plaque-like, with a smooth or flaky or moist surface and obvious infiltration. The boundary is clear and not easy to break. Small spots like chili powder can be seen on the surface. The appearance is difficult to distinguish from proliferative erythema of the glans.

4. Mica-like and keratotic pseudoepitheliomatous glansitis: The glans is damaged and infiltrated, hyperkeratotic and has mica-like crusts. The affected area loses its normal elasticity and atrophies over time. Histopathology shows hyperkeratosis, hypertrophy of the spinous layer, and elongated epidermal processes showing pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia.

5. Male candidal glansitis: The incidence is increasing day by day, and the main reason is related to sexual contact. Most of them are sexually active young men who have a history of visiting prostitutes before the onset of the disease, or have many sexual partners, or their spouse has candidal vaginitis and having sex during the onset of the disease can also cause the disease.

[Warm Tips] There are many causes of glansitis. Male friends must pay attention to hygiene, diet and other living habits in daily life. At the same time, once any abnormality is found in the body, it is necessary to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time.
