What are the symptoms of balanitis?

Balanitis is not unfamiliar to many men. It is a very common male disease. If you have balanitis, you need to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. At present, there are many men suffering from balanitis, usually young people between 20 and 50 years old. The early symptoms of balanitis in clinical medicine are relatively mild, and many men do not find their own symptoms. The following is an introduction to the symptoms of balanitis. I hope that male friends can pay attention to it in their daily lives.

What are the symptoms of balanitis?

1. The early symptoms of balanitis are not very obvious and are relatively mild. There are only redness on the glans penis and the inner foreskin, accompanied by itching. In more severe stages, it will cause pain and tenderness. In the middle and late stages of balanitis, it will cause ulcers with yellowish or cheese-like secretions accompanied by a peculiar smell, and obvious symptoms of partial swelling, which will affect urination and cause painful urination.

2. The most typical symptom of balanitis is erythema and itching on the glans penis. The common location of the disease is the glans penis. Carriers generally have no obvious symptoms and clinical symptoms. Balanitis caused by trichomonas infection will cause erythema and erosion on the glans penis and coronal sulcus. There will be a milky white cheese-like pseudomembrane on the erythema, and the male genitals will have a significant itching sensation.

3. Patients with prepuce that is too long will have mucous secretions in their scrotum. When the scrotum is involved, the surface of the genitals will produce scaling, erythematous rashes, and itching symptoms are more obvious. Within a few hours after sexual intercourse with women suffering from trichomoniasis vaginitis, the genitals will produce obvious itching and burning sensations. At the same time, the prepuce that is too long and the glans penis will produce redness and other symptoms.

In general, the early symptoms of balanitis have been introduced in detail here. I believe that everyone is already very clear. Once erythema or itching symptoms are found on the glans penis, men should pay attention to it and go to the hospital for relevant examinations as soon as possible. After being diagnosed with balanitis, they should seek treatment as soon as possible to prevent balanitis. Good living habits should be cultivated in daily life. If you have foreskin, you need to undergo circumcision as soon as possible.

What to do about balanitis

1. First of all, we can completely use some plasters for treatment. If there is a conazole cream, it can effectively help us reduce the severity. In addition, we must maintain good hygiene in daily life, avoid unclean sex life, and avoid sexual life during the treatment period. Patients also need to ensure that they maintain good hygiene and avoid unclean sex life. Because this kind of symptom is not paid attention to, it is possible to infect their sexual partners. In addition, the daily diet must be paid enough attention. Before the symptoms are not healed, everyone must not eat spicy food and irritating food to prevent further inflammation.

2. Patients can also use saline water to clean the wound. Salt water also has a very good antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, you can also use warm boiled water to clean. After cleaning, you can apply chloramphenicol eye drops on the foreskin and glans penis appropriately, and then apply it evenly. If the condition is not very serious, then you can just wipe the inflamed area a few times to eliminate the inflammation.

3. If saline water cannot completely resolve the inflammation, then we may need to take some antiviral drugs. For patients, the use of amoxicillin capsules or cephalosporin drugs is actually very effective.

Balanitis is not a long-term cure. The main reason is that we did not take good measures or did not do a good job of medical care during the treatment period. Therefore, when we continue to treat it, we need to correct some of our previous bad habits, such as not eating spicy and irritating foods, and eating more light and nutritious foods. Also, during the treatment period, we should strictly refrain from sexual intercourse. If the inflammation is not very serious, then chloramphenicol eye drops will be more effective. If the symptoms are serious, then we may need to take special antiviral drugs.
