What should I do if an ulcer appears on my penis?

Ulcers can occur in many parts of the human body. The most well-known are oral ulcers. The human intestinal system is also prone to ulcers. In addition, ulcers can occur in the genitals of both men and women, such as vulvar ulcers in women and ulcers on the penis in men. This is a very harmful male disease. Common solutions are as follows.

What should I do if an ulcer appears on my penis?

Ulcers appear on the penis, which are painless and without any conscious symptoms. If there is a history of unhygienic sexual intercourse and the penis is a little hard to the touch, it should be considered as a chancre caused by syphilis. Penicillin treatment is effective. Herpes generally presents with mild pain or burning symptoms, and herpes antiviral drugs are effective.

It may be due to inadequate hygiene that leads to an inflammatory reaction. Be careful to exclude sexually transmitted diseases, check for a confirmed diagnosis, and pay attention to maintaining genital hygiene, changing underwear frequently, and avoiding unclean sexual intercourse! Sexual intercourse is prohibited in the near future to avoid cross infection! At the same time, eat less irritating food!

For example, syphilis is caused by infection with Treponema pallidum, with symptoms of genital erosion, external rash, muscle and bone pain, and skin nucleation and ulceration. The symptoms begin with the appearance of round or oval nodules or rashes the size of rice grains on the inner surface of the foreskin or the coronal sulcus, frenulum of the foreskin, and penis, which are called chancres. Most of them are single, with hard edges and rapid erosion and ulceration on the surface, but there is no pus or discomfort. This disease is mostly transmitted through sexual contact.

It may be glansitis. Balanitis refers to inflammation of the inner layer of the foreskin and the glans penis. A lipid substance secreted in the normal foreskin cavity can accumulate into smegma when the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs, which can irritate the foreskin and glans penis and cause balanitis.

Suggestions: The basic principle of Western medicine treatment is to reduce inflammation and sterilize. Generally, both internal and external treatments are used. If the problem is caused by excessive foreskin, you should go to the hospital for treatment and undergo circumcision as soon as possible.

First of all, we need to distinguish the types of ulcers, which are generally: 1. Penile syphilis

It most often occurs on the glans penis and foreskin, with ulcers and exudates. However, if there is a history of unclean sexual intercourse, it will initially be a small red spot with congestion, which will develop into a typical ulcer within a week. The ulcer surface is superficial, flat, with raised and hardened edges, and serum exudates at the bottom. Dark field examination can detect syphilis spirochetes.

2. Chancroid: Moisture on the glans penis and foreskin mucosa

Redness and swelling, discharge, history of sexually transmitted disease contact, milder course, less discharge, less odor, enlarged inguinal lymph nodes, often causing phlegm. Direct smear or culture of discharge can detect Ducreyi bacteria

3. Gonorrhea has redness and swelling at the urethral opening

Itching, pain, thin mucus or dark yellow pus, enlarged and painful inguinal lymph nodes on both sides. However, there is a history of contact, and urethral purulent fluid smear staining examination can find Gram-negative diplococci in polynuclear leukocytes.
