Causes of recurrent glansitis

Male glansitis will not heal itself within a week. Sometimes it will recur due to hot weather or other problems. The reasons for the recurrence of glansitis include poor hygiene, candidal infection, low immunity, frequent masturbation and unclean habits, and because of the foreskin being too long and balanitis, these are all factors that trigger the recurrence of the disease.

Why does glansitis always recur?

1. Foreskin is too long or phimosis

Prepuce or phimosis: The main symptom of prepuce is that the glans penis is wrapped in the foreskin. The patient must use his hands to turn it up to expose the glans penis. If the patient with phimosis cannot turn the foreskin up to expose the glans penis, the smegma is more likely to accumulate in the foreskin and is difficult to remove. Therefore, patients with phimosis or prepuce often suffer from balanitis.

2. Masturbation damage

Injury caused by masturbation: Young men often have strong sexual desire and often masturbate. Sometimes young men masturbate too roughly, which can cause varying degrees of foreskin damage. During masturbation, due to high mental excitement, the damage is relatively small and may not be noticed, but the wound on the foreskin is very susceptible to bacterial contamination, thus inducing balanitis.

3. Candida infection

Candida infection: Candida infection Candida is a pathogenic fungus, so candidal glans inflammation often occurs secondary to diabetes, etc. It can also be primary, mostly transmitted by spouse's candidal vaginitis. The glans and coronal sulcus may have light red erosions and thin-walled pustules, but Candida is often not found locally, which may be caused by local allergic reaction caused by Candida.

4. Non-infectious factors

Non-infectious factors: Non-infectious factors include local contraceptives, detergents, trauma, soap and friction and other irritations. Experts from the hospital affiliated to the Hunan Sexual Health Research Institute suggest that local edema, erythema, erosion, exudation and even bleeding may occur. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, it may purulently form an ulcer surface. Patients with glansitis have obvious pain and difficulty in movement. Clinically, it is called acute superficial glansitis.

5. Trichomonas infection

Trichomonas infection: Trichomonas infection is often transmitted through a spouse who has vaginal trichomoniasis. If the symptoms are mild,

The main symptoms are: erythematous papules and small blisters on the glans, patients often feel itchy, and trichomonas can be found directly in the secretions. If the cause is discovered in time, please treat it in time and do not delay the time of seeing a doctor.

Experts suggest that male friends must develop good living habits in life. Once you find that you have balanoposthitis, you should seek treatment as soon as possible. Finding the cause is more conducive to treatment. Do not delay to avoid causing greater harm.
