How to cure glans inflammation and balanitis?

Both glansitis and balanitis are common diseases among men. They have a great impact on men's health. Having this disease will indeed put a lot of psychological pressure on the patient. If not treated in time, it will eventually lead to a more serious situation. Therefore, timely treatment is very important. Of course, the method is also very important! So, what is the best way to treat glansitis and balanitis?

Medication

1. Local treatment Keep the area clean and avoid irritation. Soak or apply 1:5000 potassium permanganate locally. If the pus in the foreskin sac is not drained smoothly, a longitudinal incision of the back foreskin can be performed for drainage and cleaning. Circumcision can be performed after the infection is controlled.

2. Special treatment: Special treatment should be given to infections with clear etiology. For candidal balanitis, 1% to 3% clotrimazole or ketoconazole cream can be used topically, and for vaginal Trichomonas infection, metronidazole can be taken orally.

3. Systemic treatment: Patients with severe infection, suspected necrotizing spondylitis, fever and inguinal lymph node enlargement require systemic antibiotics.

Pathogenesis

Phimosis refers to the narrowness of the foreskin, which cannot be turned back to expose the entire glans penis. In infants and young children, the foreskin is longer than the penis, and there is adhesion between the foreskin and the glans penis. This is physiological phimosis. As the penis grows older, the adhesion between the foreskin and the glans penis gradually disappears, the foreskin gradually retracts, and most phimosis disappears automatically. About 27.3% of preschool children aged 5 to 7 have phimosis. Because the local area cannot be cleaned, it often complicates foreskin inflammation, causing the foreskin to adhere to the glans, affecting the development of the penis. Therefore, some people advocate early circumcision. Otherwise, with age, the sebaceous gland secretions and epithelial desquamation in the foreskin will accumulate, forming smegma and even subforeskin stones, which can easily lead to bacterial infection, inflammatory adhesions, and adhesion and stenosis of the foreskin and urethra. Chronic inflammatory stimulation in the foreskin is an important factor in penile cancer.
