How long does it take for glans inflammation to heal on its own?

The glans is the head of the male penis. The normal glans is pink and should be relatively smooth. Some men do not clean their private parts often because of habit. They always think that they only need to clean it when taking a shower, and they do not wash it on weekdays. Therefore, this may cause the penis to be infected, thereby causing inflammation such as glansitis. So how long does it take for glansitis to heal itself?

Generally, glans inflammation will heal itself in 1-2 weeks. This problem should be for mild inflammation. You should pay attention to whether there are abnormal fungal problems, beriberi, and tinea corporis. Pay attention to diet maintenance. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and do more exercise. It is better to see a dermatologist for a reasonable examination and treatment. Be careful not to smoke, drink alcohol, or eat spicy food.

Balanitis refers to inflammation of the inner plate of the foreskin and the glans penis. A lipid substance secreted in the normal foreskin cavity can accumulate into smegma to irritate the foreskin and glans penis and cause balanitis when the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs. It is recommended to wash with light salt water and apply erythromycin ointment. Drink plenty of water, pay attention to the daily diet, adhere to moderate exercise, avoid alcohol, reduce spicy and irritating food, and prohibit sexual intercourse during treatment. Mild glanitis must be taken seriously and should not be ignored, because mild glanitis will worsen if not treated in time, thus bringing unnecessary troubles to men. As long as the cause of glanitis is clear and targeted treatment is carried out, it can generally be cured in a few days. To avoid recurrence, the key to treatment is to eliminate the inducing factors, such as paying attention to local hygiene, eliminating unclean sexual history, and if the foreskin is too long, circumcision surgery is required in time to prevent future problems.

Candida infection: Candida is often seen in diabetic patients. Generally, it is caused by candida vaginitis from the spouse. There may be light red erosions and thin-walled abscesses on the glans penis and coronal sulcus, but Candida is often not found locally. This may be due to a local allergic reaction caused by Candida.
