What are the dangers of having chancroid?

The harm of doing it at night is relatively large, so after the patient finds out that he has chancroid, he must take scientific treatment methods in time, because if he does not get effective treatment, it may also cause balanitis, incarcerated foreskin, or urethral fistula and other secondary infections.

1. Chancroid lymphadenitis

Also known as chancroid hernia or painful hernia, 50-60% of patients may experience it, usually within a few days to a week after the appearance of chancroid ulcer. It is more common in the groin, often unilateral, and begins with local lymph node enlargement with slight tenderness, then gradually affects multiple adjacent lymph nodes and produces lymphadenitis, which can fuse into larger masses. The local skin may be red and swollen, and feel wavy when touched, and finally rupture to form an ulcer. At this time, the patient may have obvious pain and may also be accompanied by fever. It often takes 2-4 weeks to gradually heal and form a scar.

2. Balanitis and incarcerated foreskin

When a patient develops a chancroid in the foreskin, inflammatory edema may cause phimosis, and purulent accumulation in the foreskin may cause glansitis. If the foreskin is highly edematous and cannot be turned over, it may cause incarcerated phimosis.

3. Urethral fistula

Since chancroid of the penis can cause penile ulceration and invade the urethra, it can cause severe pain during urination and eventually lead to urethral stenosis and difficulty in urination.

4. Secondary infection

A small number of patients may also be infected with syphilis and venereally transmitted lymphogranuloma at the same time as chancroid, which can increase the severity of the damage. At this time, mixed chancroid may occur, which is often difficult to treat.
