What causes male genital edema?

Many male friends are troubled by male genital edema. They don’t know how this situation occurs and why edema occurs. In fact, male genital infection is very common and the disease can occur due to some factors. For such a serious phenomenon as male genital edema, the cause of the disease must be considered. What exactly is the cause? The following introduces the cause.

There are three main reasons for foreskin edema:

1. Not paying attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia. 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 that looks like tofu dregs. Smegma is a good culture medium for bacteria. If it is not removed in time, it will easily induce foreskin edema.

2. Suffering from prepuce that is too long or phimosis. The glans penis of a person with prepuce that is too long is usually always wrapped in the foreskin, and must be turned up by hand to be exposed; even with the help of hands, the foreskin of a person with phimosis cannot be turned up to expose the glans penis. In this case, smegma is more likely to accumulate in the foreskin, and it is difficult to remove. Therefore, it is not surprising that patients with prepuce that is too long or phimosis often suffer from foreskin edema. If you suffer from prepuce that is too long or phimosis, you should go to the hospital for circumcision when the time is right. The operation is very simple, does not require hospitalization, and can be cured in about a week.

3. Injury caused by masturbation. Young people have strong sexual desire and often masturbate. 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 foreskin edema.

Beijing urology experts pointed out that foreskin edema can lead to foreskin adhesion, urethral stoma inflammation, urethral stenosis, and even inflammation going back up the urethra, causing urinary tract infection. Therefore, if you suffer from foreskin edema, you must receive treatment in time, and pay attention to health care in addition to treatment.

Many causes of male genital edema have been introduced above. For example, some male friends do not pay attention to their personal genital hygiene and personal health. Some men like to masturbate, which can also lead to genital infection. Once genital edema occurs, medical treatment must be sought in time.
