Inflammation of the glans mucosa is called glansitis. Glansitis is often caused by fungal, chlamydia, mycoplasma, herpes and other bacterial infections, and sometimes by foreskin being too long. Poor personal hygiene can lead to infection of the glans by bacteria, fungi or other pathogens, and irritation of the glans skin by chemicals. Male friends should be vigilant. What are the detailed symptoms of glansitis?

1. Symptoms of acute superficial glansitis: Initially, local flushing, redness and swelling of the penis skin, burning and itching of the glans. When the foreskin is turned over, congestion and erosion can be seen, with exudate and even bleeding. After secondary infection, small ulcers and milky white foul-smelling secretions can be seen.

2. Symptoms of annular ulcerated glansitis: Erythema can be seen on the glans foreskin, which gradually expands into a ring shape and forms an ulcerated surface.

3. Symptoms of Candida albicans balanitis: Erythema can be seen on the foreskin and glans, with a smooth surface and small blisters and clear edges. Erosion and exudate occur during acute attacks.

4. Symptoms of trichomoniasis glansitis: papules and erythema on the glans gradually expand with clear edges. Small needle-sized blisters can be seen on the erythema, and finally an erosive surface is formed.

The clinical manifestations of phimosis are redness and swelling of the foreskin, burning pain, aggravated during urination, and purulent secretions flowing out of the foreskin opening. If the foreskin is turned over, the inner plate of the foreskin and the glans penis can be seen to be congested and swollen. In severe cases, there may be shallow ulcers or erosions, showing pus.
