What is the reason for the redness and itching of the foreskin?

We need to pay special attention to hygiene habits in our daily life. If we don't pay attention to them, it will affect our health. Some men have affected the health of their reproductive organs because they don't pay attention to their hygiene habits in their daily life. Foreskin is a common genital disease in men. If you find that your foreskin is red and itchy, you should pay special attention to it. So, what are the causes of red and itchy foreskin? How to treat red and itchy foreskin?

Balanitis is the most common disease of the glans foreskin. Almost all patients have phimosis or prepuce that is too long. Between the glans and the long foreskin, a warm and moist bacterial culture medium is formed due to the exfoliated epithelial cells, glandular secretions and smegma bacteria. Once the bacteria enter, it can cause inflammation.

What is the reason for the swelling of the foreskin lipstick? There are mainly two situations:

1. Balanoposthitis causes red and swollen foreskin. In the early stage of balanoposthitis, the glans and foreskin surface are edematous and congested, the area around the urethral opening is red, and wounds and erosions appear. It can develop into superficial ulcers, with purulent secretions flowing out. The patient feels itching or burning at the glans penis, followed by pain. After erosion, pus may flow and have a foul odor. In severe cases, there will also be fatigue, low fever, enlarged and tender inguinal lymph nodes.

Second, the foreskin is too long, causing the foreskin mouth to be red and swollen. The foreskin is too long, which means that the foreskin covers the urethral opening, but can be turned up to expose the urethral opening and the glans penis. Phimosis refers to the narrowness of the foreskin opening or the adhesion of the foreskin to the glans penis, which prevents the foreskin from turning up and exposing the urethral opening and the glans penis. Because the foreskin cannot be turned up, a lot of contamination may accumulate in the foreskin, and even stones may appear, causing foreskin glansitis and urethral external mouth inflammation. Inflammation narrows the external urethral opening, causing urination obstruction and causing urinary tract infection.

Therefore, once a man finds that he has foreskin that is too long, he must receive treatment in time.

Patients with prepuce hyperplasia have narrow and pinhole-like foreskin openings, which can cause varying degrees of dysuria, slow and small urine flow, and bulging foreskin during urination. Smegma, which is a small white lump. Foreskin inflammation of the glans penis, with red and swollen foreskin openings and purulent secretions. Incarcerated foreskin, with severe pain, edema of the foreskin, dysuria, and necrosis of the foreskin over a long period of time.

The above is an introduction to the reasons why the foreskin becomes red and itchy. It can be seen that some urethritis symptoms can also cause problems with the foreskin. However, excessive foreskin is an undesirable symptom, so it is hoped that men with excessive foreskin can undergo circumcision surgery as soon as possible to prevent bacteria from infecting the genitals and seriously affecting men's physical health.
