2. How to treat glansitis

Glanitis requires treatment that targets the cause and symptoms. The basic principle of Western medicine in treating balanitis is to reduce inflammation and sterilize, and treat both internally and externally.

1. Treatment of symptoms: Keep the affected area clean and hygienic, and avoid all kinds of stimulation. Those with prepuce that is too long should undergo circumcision.

2. Local treatment: If the affected area shows erosion and exudation or purulent secretions, apply medicine or ointment to relieve symptoms.

3. Etiological treatment: Patients with clear etiology should be given corresponding medication. For example, for candidal glansitis, topical nystatin cream, clotrimazole, econazole, miconazole cream, or oral antifungal drugs can be used. For trichomonal glansitis, metronidazole, tinidazole, and trichostatin can be used. For amebic glansitis, emetine, metronidazole, and tinidazole are given. If the spouse suffers from candidal or trichomonal vaginitis at the same time, they should receive treatment at the same time.

When using drugs to treat balanitis, if the inflammation has developed for a period of time, it is best to cooperate with infusion therapy to prevent the inflammation from further worsening and causing erosion or pus. It should be noted that even if the condition of balanitis improves, it does not mean that the inflammation will not recur. Therefore, it is recommended that patients can undergo negative circumcision if necessary, which can effectively prevent balanitis.

Impact on fertility: When glans inflammation occurs, the sensitive nerves of the glans are damaged, which can easily lead to a decline in male sexual function, premature ejaculation, impotence, etc. In addition, the inflammatory secretions hidden in the foreskin can easily enter the vagina along with the semen during sexual intercourse, which not only reduces the quality of semen, but also may affect the combination of sperm and egg cells, leading to infertility.
