The three major causes of penile inflammation. Penile injury can also cause the disease!

The penis can be seen as a reproductive organ or as a channel for the discharge of urine and semen, but no matter what, the penis is the most important organ for men, which is why it is considered the "lifeline" by men. Don't think that the penis is strong, it can also get sick, the most common of which is vulvitis.

Physiological factors

Poor or abnormal development of the penis can lead to an unfavorable anatomical structure, prepuce hyperplasia and phimosis, which can cause the glans penis and urethra opening to be irritated by urine retained in the urethra opening and urine scale in the foreskin cavity, or foreskin incarceration, resulting in congestion, swelling, ischemia, necrosis, etc. of the glans penis, thereby reducing the anti-infection ability of the glans penis and urethra opening, making it easy to be infected by pathogens.

Local trauma

Normal glans penis and penile skin have strong resistance to normal flora living in the penile skin and certain pathogenic bacteria that infect the penile skin, so under normal physiological conditions, penile skin infectious diseases usually do not occur. However, if the glans penis or its skin is injured by squeezing, itching, intense masturbation, sexual intercourse, and oral sex, it may be conducive to pathogenic pathogens and conditional pathogens to infect penile tissues and cause penile inflammatory reactions.

Reduced body resistance

The occurrence of certain penile infections is often related to factors such as colds, diabetes, overwork, dysbacteriosis, tumors or the use of immunosuppressants, which lead to a decrease in the body's resistance or immune capacity. For example, colds or overwork can reduce the body's resistance, which can often cause the activation of latent herpes simplex virus (HSV) and the formation of recurrent infections; diabetic patients, tumor patients and patients treated with immunosuppressants are often prone to penile tissue infections caused by different species of Saccharomyces spp. due to reduced immunity; irregular use and abuse of antimicrobial drugs can cause urinary tract dysbacteriosis, which can lead to infection with certain resistant pathogens and conditional pathogens and cause inflammatory reactions of the glans penis or glans balanitis.
