Ulcers on the inner side of male urethra

The hot summer is also a period of high incidence of various male diseases. Sometimes there will be ulcers on the inner side of the male urethra. There are many reasons for this. It may be caused by not paying attention to personal hygiene or inflammation. So you can wash it with clean water and change your underwear frequently. If it still doesn't get better after trying, you need to go to the hospital for examination and take the right medicine.

Ulcers on the inner side of the male urethral opening should be considered as glansitis.

1. Acute superficial balanitis is characterized by local flushing at the onset, redness and swelling of the skin, and a burning and itching sensation in the glans. When the foreskin is turned back, the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans can be seen to be congested and eroded, with exudate and even bleeding. After secondary infection, small ulcers can be seen, with foul-smelling milky white purulent secretions. If it rubs against underwear, it will be painful, and the patient often has difficulty in moving. It may be accompanied by enlargement and tenderness of the inguinal lymph nodes.

2. Annular ulcerated balanoposthitis: Erythema can be seen on the glans and foreskin, which gradually expands and becomes ring-shaped, and may form superficial ulcers.

3. In case of Candida albicans balanitis, erythema can be seen on the foreskin and glans, with a smooth surface and small blisters. The edges of the erythema are clear, and there are erosions and exudates during acute attacks.

4. Trichomonas phimosis glans penis will cause papules and erythema on the glans penis, which will gradually expand and have clear edges. Small blisters the size of a needle can be seen on the erythema, and finally ulcers will form.

Ulcers at the male urethral opening may be caused by urethritis, which refers to inflammation of the urethral mucosa. Clinically, urethritis can be divided into acute and chronic types. It is mostly caused by pathogenic bacteria retrogradely invading the urethra.
