Consequences of glansitis

Many people think that glansitis is just an inflammation and there is no need to worry after the disease occurs. Although glansitis is not as terrible as imagined, careful prevention is still necessary, because glansitis can affect the health of the urinary system, cause certain harm to the reproductive system, and may even cause sexual dysfunction, which may lead to male infertility.

1. Lead to urinary system diseases . Balanitis can easily cause ascending infection of the urinary system, which is generally common in cystitis, nephritis, pyelonephritis, etc., especially chronic glansitis that has not been cured for a long time is most likely to cause urinary system diseases. Improper treatment in the acute stage can be life-threatening.

2. Harm to reproductive health . Balanitis can easily lead to prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis, and inflammation of the vas deferens and other organs. If it is not treated effectively and in a timely manner, combined infection will cause great harm to reproductive health.

3. It can cause sexual dysfunction. During the period of foreskin and glans inflammation, the sensory nerves of the glans are in a sensitive period. In addition, the damage caused by inflammation makes it easy to have premature ejaculation during sexual life, which can lead to impotence in the long run. In addition, the hypertrophic narrow ring formed by the adhesion of the foreskin shrinkage causes the penis to be pulled backwards and compressed during erection, resulting in erectile dysfunction (impotence).

4. It can cause male infertility. Due to the long-term stimulation of inflammatory factors on the regulation of sperm and sexual response in the reproductive system, and the inflammatory secretions hidden in the foreskin enter the vagina together with semen during sexual intercourse, it reduces the quality of semen and destroys the ovarian cells, leading to male infertility.
