Foreskin edema pictures

Penile edema is a disease. The swelling of the skin and mucous membranes is caused by the obstruction of the circulatory system in the foreskin. It is usually caused by the patient's lack of attention to the genital hygiene, excessively rough masturbation, prolonged foreskin incarceration, etc. It may also be caused by edema after circumcision surgery.

Subacute penile edema is a space-occupying lesion of balanitis that can cause partial necrosis if not treated properly.

Causes

1. Infection factors

The coronal sulcus and prepuce have been treated with laser or electrocautery surgery, resulting in postoperative infection; or other reasons may cause bacterial infection of prepuce and produce edema.

2. Skin allergy factors

This includes being bitten by a mosquito, applying medication, or using emergency contraceptives.

3. Physical elements

These include abrasions during sexual intercourse, long-term rotation and incarceration of the foreskin, excessive washing, and injuries caused by violent behavior.

4. Others

It includes edema caused by chronic glans dermatitis and edema of unidentified cause after unclean sexual behavior.

Clinical symptoms

The foreskin swells up like a lifebuoy around the coronal sulcus, or swells up like a hemisphere on the glans penis. In severe cases, the surface is transparent. Some patients have secondary coronary sulcus ulcers and erosions, and exudate light yellow purulent secretions.

Confirmed

The key is to make a diagnosis based on medical history, clinical symptoms, and pathogen testing.

Symptoms

Phimitis of the glans penis can easily cause urethritis, prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis and vas deferens, etc.

Healing

1. General medical treatment

(1) Keep the area clean and dry to avoid various irritations. Clean the glans penis and foreskin every day.

(2) Avoid improper sexual behavior and suspend sexual intercourse during the treatment period. If it is trichomoniasis or trichomoniasis glansitis, the couple should be treated separately.

(3) Eat less spicy and irritating foods, and avoid alcohol and smoking.

2. Treat the cause

For infectious edema, actively treat the infected wound and use antibacterial drugs systemically; for allergic edema, use antihistamines, hormone drugs and other drugs systemically.

3. Medication

Edema caused by physical factors can be treated according to the symptoms, including surgical treatment to eliminate impaction, traumatic wound treatment, etc.

4. Chinese medicine treatment

Traditional Chinese medicine has a good effect on the treatment of this disease. The general theory of treatment is to clear away heat and reduce fire, and to astringe and eliminate swelling.
