Be careful! Wrinkles on the glans may be caused by glanitis

Many men are reluctant to talk about some private issues involving men because they are shy. When a man finds wrinkles on his glans, he should pay attention to it. This may be balanoposthitis. So what are the symptoms of balanoposthitis? How to prevent it?

There are several symptoms of balanitis:

1 Acute superficial balanoposthitis is characterized by local flushing at the onset, redness and swelling of the skin, and a burning and itching sensation in the glans. When the foreskin is turned back, the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans can be seen to be congested and eroded, with exudate and even bleeding. After secondary infection, small ulcers can be seen, with foul-smelling milky white purulent secretions. If it rubs against underwear, it will be painful, and the patient often has difficulty in moving. It may be accompanied by enlargement and tenderness of the inguinal lymph nodes.

2 Annular ulcerated balanoposthitis: Erythema can be seen on the glans and foreskin, which gradually expands and becomes ring-shaped, and may form a superficial ulcer surface.

3. In case of albicans candidal balanitis, erythema can be seen on the foreskin and glans, with a smooth surface and small blisters. The edges of the erythema are clear, and there is erosion and exudation during acute attacks.

4 Trichomonas phimosis glans glans papules and erythema appear on the glans, gradually expanding with clear edges. Small blisters the size of a needle can be seen on the erythema, and finally an erosive surface is formed.

Five key points to prevent glansitis

1. Pay attention to local hygiene, clean the glans and foreskin every day. If the foreskin is too long, it should be treated in time and circumcision should be performed if necessary. It is very necessary to clean the smegma in time.

2. If one of the spouses suffers from a sexual organ disease, they should suspend sexual activity and seek timely treatment. For example, if the spouse suffers from trichomonas or Candida albicans infection, both spouses should receive treatment at the same time.

3. If ulcer or erosion occurs, change the dressing in time, twice a day, to avoid uncomfortable irritation.

4. For acute balanitis, avoid using corticosteroid ointments to prevent more serious infection.

5. Eat a light diet every day, avoid spicy food, get enough rest, and avoid overwork.
