Why does inflammation appear on the glans after taking a bath?

Nowadays, people pay great attention to personal hygiene and take a bath every one or two days. Some people even take a bath every day. However, some men find that if they take a bath too frequently, their glans penis will be inflamed. Inflammation of the glans penis will have a great impact on the male body. At the same time, the glans penis will become red, swollen and itchy. Some will also become infected and the skin will rot. So, what is the reason for inflammation of the glans penis after taking a bath?

Washing the glans with clean water every night will not cause glansitis. Glansitis refers to a purulent disease in which the glans of the penis of men becomes red, swollen, hot and painful due to bacterial invasion of tissues or blood-borne infection. This disease is more common in young people. The causes are: first, it is caused by purulent bacterial infection such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, which often occurs in the late stage of various acute purulent infections or after local injuries with hematoma and foreign body residues; second, it is caused by tuberculosis infection, which is mostly caused by direct spread of lesions elsewhere or blood-borne spread.

2. How to treat glansitis

1. General treatment

(1) Keep the area clean, avoid various irritations, and clean the glans penis and foreskin daily.

(2) Avoid unprotected sexual intercourse and suspend sexual activity during treatment. If it is trichomonas or candidal glansitis, both husband and wife should be treated at the same time.

(3) Avoid using hormone drugs during the acute phase to avoid aggravating the infection. If the foreskin is severely edematous, do not forcibly retract the foreskin.

(4) If there are ulcers or erosions on the inner foreskin and glans penis, the dressing should be changed promptly, twice a day.

(5) Eat less spicy food and avoid smoking and drinking.

Patients with erosive exudation or purulent secretions need to be disinfected, while those with dryness and scaling should use ointment. Patients with candida infection can use solution to clean the affected area and then apply ointment. Patients with trichomonas infection can be rinsed with solution and then apply anti-inflammatory ointment. Intermittent administration of medium-acting hormone ointment has a good effect on cytoplasmic glansitis.

Systemic antibiotics should be selected according to the pathogen and drug sensitivity test. For the treatment of acute superficial balanitis and annular erosive balanitis, antibiotics sensitive to Gram-positive cocci can be selected first. The treatment of trichomonal balanitis should start with anti-inflammatory drugs, and the treatment of balanitis caused by Candida albicans is commonly used with anti-inflammatory drugs.
