How to treat redness and swelling of the glans coronal sulcus

In fact, the most vulnerable part of the human body to bacterial infection is the reproductive system, because the reproductive system has open channels in the body, and it is very likely that bacteria will enter through these channels and cause infection. In addition, the genitals need to excrete every day, so it is inevitable that bacteria will breed, or there is urine on them. Some people have redness and swelling in the coronal sulcus of the glans. In this case, bacterial infection may be considered, and the possibility of glansitis cannot be ruled out.

What is the cause of redness and swelling of the glans coronal groove?

The main causes of redness and swelling of the glans sulcus are glansitis and condyloma acuminatum. In clinical practice, balanitis is the most common. In addition to causing redness and swelling of the male foreskin, the glans sulcus, and the glans ostium, balanitis can also cause erosion of the glans and foreskin, redness and pain of the foreskin and glans, etc., and must be treated in time.

The cause of balanitis may be bacterial infection, such as unclean sex, or it may be caused by excessive foreskin and bacterial growth in the foreskin. Therefore, the treatment of red and swollen foreskin and red and swollen glans coronal groove should be targeted at the cause.

Balanitis can be divided into infectious and non-infectious. Balanitis refers to inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans penis. A lipid substance secreted in the normal foreskin cavity can accumulate into smegma to irritate the foreskin and glans penis when the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs, causing balanitis. This causes redness and swelling of the glans foreskin. The main causes of balanitis infection are as follows:

1. Infectious ones are often caused by unclean sexual intercourse and are caused by infection with Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Gonorrhea or other bacteria.

2. Non-infectious factors are mostly due to excessive foreskin or insufficient cleaning of the foreskin. The smegma between the foreskin and the glans penis will accumulate, irritating the local foreskin mucosa and causing disease.

3. Improper masturbation methods can also cause local congestion and edema, leading to redness and swelling of the coronal sulcus.

Balanitis should be treated actively. You can apply iodine-fluoride solution or anti-inflammatory ointment locally. Common antifungal ointments include salicylic acid ointment, clotrimazole ointment, etc. There are many kinds of antibacterial ointments, such as erythromycin ointment, neomycin ointment, Bactroban (mupirocin ointment), chlortetracycline cream, berberine ointment, etc.

Warm reminder: Balanoposthitis is extremely harmful to the human body. If the foreskin is inflammatory and edematous, the foreskin opening will be tightened and stuck on the glans penis, aggravating the edema of the glans penis and may even cause ischemic necrosis. Therefore, if a male patient feels inflammation on the glans penis, he should go to a regular hospital for an examination in time so that he can receive timely symptomatic treatment.
