Penis discharge, pus, swelling and pain

If a man has symptoms of redness, swelling and pus on his glans, it is likely that he has glansitis, which is caused by infection with pathogens such as Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia and Mycoplasma. We must pay attention to it and start immediate treatment to avoid complications.

Balanitis may be related to the foreskin covering the glans penis, which is the most common cause. Other factors, such as diabetes, are also a cause of balanitis. In this case, first of all, it is still necessary to solve the problem of excessive foreskin.

There are several situations where circumcision surgery may be considered:

1. The foreskin is too long to cover the glans penis completely and cannot be turned up, which is called foreskin too long;

2. If the foreskin is too long, it can be turned up, but there will be a noticeable narrow ring after turning it up;

3. Repeated foreskin and glans penis inflammation.

These three conditions belong to the surgical indications for circumcision. For long foreskin, if there is no recurring balanoposthitis, it is not necessary to take the active method of circumcision to prevent it. Another way is to treat balanoposthitis. If the patient is hesitant about circumcision, he can first carry out drug treatment. The drug level is mainly local drugs, such as the use of chlorhexidine and other antiseptic substances to clean the glans penis. It is usually recommended to go to the hospital clinic for a reliable and comprehensive examination, scientific diagnosis of symptoms, and symptomatic treatment of the disease.

What are the symptoms of glansitis?

1. Subacute atrophic balanitis is partially red at the beginning, the skin of the male genitals is red and swollen, and the glans penis feels hot and itchy. When the foreskin is opened, it can be seen that the foreskin and the glans penis are congested and corrupted, with exudate and even bleeding.

2. Annular rupture of phimosis and glansitis: Erythema can be seen on the glans penis and the foreskin is too long, which gradually expands and becomes annular, and can form an atrophic ulcer surface.

3. Candida albicans balanitis: Erythema can be seen on the foreskin and glans penis, the surface is moisturized, and there are small blisters. The edges of the erythema are clear. In subacute onset, there are problems of corruption and exudate.

4. Candidal balanoposthitis causes papules and erythema on the glans penis, which gradually expand and have clear edges. Small blisters the size of a needle tube can be seen on the erythema, eventually forming a corrupt surface.
