What causes penile erosion?

Once the penis erodes, men will be very anxious, fearing that they have contracted a certain disease, or even a serious sexually transmitted disease. At this time, many people dare not see a doctor. In fact, this may be a common inflammation, and the treatment is not difficult. Therefore, on the basis of doing a good job of local hygiene, you must be brave to see a doctor, find out the cause and treat it accordingly, and never miss the best time for treatment.

First, the cause

Penile ulcers indicate the presence of balanitis. The causes of balanitis can be infectious or non-infectious. Infectious balanitis is more common in clinical practice. Infectious balanitis is often caused by unclean sexual intercourse, infection with chlamydia, trichomonas, candida albicans, mycoplasma, gonorrhea or other bacteria; non-infectious factors are mostly due to excessive foreskin and insufficient cleaning. The unclean matter between the foreskin and the glans, that is, smegma, will slowly accumulate, irritating the local foreskin and mucous membrane to cause inflammation. Leading to penile ulcers.

Second, symptoms

1. The growth is in the shape of a cockscomb, thorn, cauliflower, or nipple, with an uneven surface, a feeling of oppression, or a foul odor.

2. Pain and itching in the genitals may occur, and the patient may experience hematuria and difficulty urinating.

3. Large tumor-like growths may grow in the vulva and anus.

Third, treatment

In case of penile ulcer, you need to pay attention to local hygiene and clean the glans and foreskin every day. If the foreskin is too long, you need to treat it in time and perform penile circumcision when necessary. At the same time, it is also necessary to clean the smegma in time.

Fourth, glans inflammation can lead to penile ulcers

Clinically, phimosis of the glans penis is manifested by pimples, redness, swelling, 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, with pus.

Experts say that balanitis is caused by pathogens formed by smegma and unclean sexual life, which irritate the foreskin and glans mucosa. This inflammation of the foreskin inner plate and glans penis can be caused by various pathogens, smegma irritation and other factors.

1. Simple or non-infectious factors;

2. Infectious or contagious diseases. The former, except for physiological phimosis, excessive foreskin, after sexual maturity, smegma stimulation or a few mechanical injury factors, can cause inflammatory changes such as redness, swelling and burning of the glans; the latter, except for balanitis caused by infectious factors, is balanitis caused by pathogenic microorganisms as the main factor, among which bacterial and fungal infections are the most common.
