Got a rash on your foreskin?

Herpes on the foreskin is generally called genital herpes. In most cases, male genital herpes is caused by not paying attention to hygiene habits. In addition, modern men are under great work pressure and have little time to exercise. They often work overtime for work, which can easily lead to low immunity. Herpes can easily invade. Male genital herpes on the foreskin must be treated in time.

First of all, primary refers to the first infection with the virus, which generally takes about 2-10 days from contact to onset, which is the incubation period. The affected area first has a burning sensation, and soon 3-10 groups of red papules appear on the erythema base, accompanied by itching. The papules quickly turn into small blisters, and then turn into pustules after 3-5 days. After rupturing, large erosions and ulcers are formed, which are painful and finally heal with scabs.

Secondly, experts point out that the entire course of genital herpes can last about 20 days. In men, it is more common to occur in the glans penis, coronary sulcus, urethral orifice, penis, scrotum, thighs and arms. In women, it is more common to occur in the labia, mons pubis, clitoris, perianal area or vagina. In about 90% of patients, the virus can invade the cervix at the same time, causing increased vaginal discharge or lower abdominal pain, and may be complicated by cervicitis and metrorrhagia. Most male and female patients have enlarged inguinal lymph nodes on both sides. When the inflammation affects the urethra and bladder in the later stage, dysuria, urination pain, frequent urination, and severe cases may cause urinary retention.

In addition, other symptoms may also appear at the same time, such as fever, general malaise, headache, neck stiffness, meningitis and sacral nervous system dysfunction. Therefore, if these problems occur, they should be promptly noticed. Early detection and early treatment can avoid many problems.

1. Since sexually transmitted diseases are a kind of disease that Chinese people are more taboo about, suffering from genital herpes will add a heavy psychological burden. Fear and other psychological factors seriously affect men's normal life. They are afraid that their wives will not forgive them, they are afraid of being embarrassed, they are afraid of being unable to be cured, and they are afraid of infecting their families. Therefore, they will avoid and alienate their family members and friends. Once there is a negative psychological effect of genital herpes, it will not only affect recovery, but also cause sexual dysfunction in men and even depression.

3. Males with genital herpes will have their reproductive function affected, and in severe cases, it may lead to male infertility. Even if your wife is lucky enough to get pregnant, genital herpes will infect your wife and the fetus or newborn at the same time. Genital herpes may cause intrauterine infection and neonatal herpes infection, leading to miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death or serious sequelae.
