Masturbation can cause glansitis. Here are the common causes of glansitis.

Masturbation is a habit that most men have from time to time, but excessive masturbation is harmful to men's health, and some may even induce glans inflammation. Let's take a look at the common causes of glans inflammation.

1. Suffering from prepuce or phimosis:

The glans penis of patients with excessive foreskin is usually always wrapped in the foreskin and must be turned up by hand to be exposed; patients with phimosis cannot turn up the foreskin to expose the glans penis even with the help of hands. Experts from Changsha Zhongshan Men's Hospital pointed out that in this case, smegma is more likely to accumulate in the foreskin and is difficult to remove. Therefore, it is not surprising that patients with excessive foreskin or phimosis often suffer from balanitis.

2. Injury caused by masturbation:

Young people have strong sexual desires and cannot avoid masturbation. Sometimes masturbation is too rough, which can cause varying degrees of foreskin damage. Because of the high level of excitement during masturbation, the damage is relatively small and may not be noticed, but the wound on the foreskin is very susceptible to bacterial contamination, thus inducing balanitis.

3. Not paying attention to external genital hygiene:

The sebaceous glands of the foreskin of young men often secrete more vigorously. If you do not pay attention to regular cleaning of the external genitalia, or do not turn the foreskin up when cleaning, the secretions of the sebaceous glands of the foreskin will accumulate under the foreskin, forming smegma like tofu dregs. Smegma is a good culture medium for bacteria, and it is easy to induce balanitis if it is not removed in time.
