Vascular foreskin edema

Many men suffer from some male diseases, and foreskin edema is one of them. The clinical manifestation of this disease is sudden edema of the foreskin, which is translucent. But if you don't pay attention to it, it will disappear by itself after a few days. In fact, this is an allergic reaction of the foreskin. When the disease occurs, the patient often feels a little itchy on the glans penis. Here I will introduce to you what to do with tubular foreskin edema.

People often have or see sudden edema of the glans foreskin, which is swollen and translucent, and disappears naturally after 2-3 days. This is vascular neural edema occurring in the glans. Vascular edema, like urticaria, is an acute allergic reaction of the glans to food, medicine or insect bites. This disease can occur only in the glans, or it can occur at the same time as urticaria. Children are prone to glans edema, which is manifested by the glans foreskin being highly swollen and shiny, like a large blister. But it does not affect urination. This disease often occurs at night, with no obvious itching and no systemic discomfort, and it can disappear on its own after a few days.

The diagnosis and treatment of glans foreskin vascular edema is simple and easy. The local area should be kept clean and dry. If necessary, 1:1000 gentamicin can be used to gently wipe the affected area. Patients with systemic urticaria can be treated with oral pheniramine and diphenhydramine, but the medication must be used under the guidance of a doctor.

【Causes】

This disease is generally considered to be an allergic reaction. Because its pathogenesis is the same as that of urticaria, it is also called giant urticaria. Due to the allergic reaction, the small blood vessels in the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissue are affected, resulting in vascular dilation and increased exudate. The exudate enters the loose tissue from the blood vessels to form localized edema. This allergen may be the ingestion of certain irritants, drugs, or contact with certain chemical products.
