What are the obvious symptoms of glansitis?

The glans of men's genitals are relatively sensitive and are easily infected with bacteria. Penitis is a common reproductive disease among men. If it is not treated properly or in time, it is easy to cause other symptoms. Therefore, everyone should learn more about the symptoms of penile glans inflammation.

1. Acute superficial balanitis is an acute inflammation of the glans penis, often caused by local irritation such as trauma, friction, soap, detergent, etc. The main manifestations are local edematous erythema, erosive exudate, and in severe cases, blisters and large blisters may appear. After secondary bacterial infection, an ulcer surface is formed, and there is purulent secretion. The above symptoms can be aggravated by local friction, poor foreskin rotation, and accumulation of secretions, which irritate the wound surface and aggravate the inflammation. Spontaneous pain and tenderness. Those with significant local inflammation may be accompanied by mild systemic symptoms.

2. Circinate erosive balanitis There are two types of clinical manifestations. One is the early manifestation of Reiter's disease; the other is persistent, recurrent balanitis with annular or multiple annular lesions. Initially, it is erythema on the glans and foreskin, which gradually expands and becomes annular or multiple annular, and then forms a superficial ulcer. For those with poor foreskin rotation, secretions accumulate locally, and secondary infection often occurs, which aggravates the symptoms, loses its annular characteristics, and is difficult to distinguish from superficial ulcers.

3. Candidal balanitis Candidal balanitis can be primary or secondary. The latter often occurs in patients with diabetes, elderly wasting diseases, and after antibiotic and hormone treatment. The clinical manifestations are erythema with a smooth surface, mild desquamation on the edges, and satellite-shaped papules and small pustules that slowly expand in all directions and generally have clear boundaries. The groin may also be affected. During acute attacks, the glans mucosa is edematous erythema with unclear boundaries, and may have erosion and exudate. Candida can be found in microscopic examination and culture of the lesion site. Recurrent candidal balanitis can cause foreskin dryness, fibrosis, and sclerosis.
