Causes and treatment of circumvallate glansitis

Many patients suffer from genital diseases, which seriously affect the physical health of male patients and the happiness between husband and wife. Therefore, patients need timely treatment to ensure their physical health and avoid the situation where the patient's condition worsens due to lack of timely treatment. So what are the causes and treatments of circumvallate balanitis? Let me introduce this issue to you below.

1. Causes of balanitis

1. Balanitis is a common disease. Balanitis is divided into balanitis and glansitis. Because they often appear at the same time, it is called penile balanitis. This inflammation can be infectious or non-infectious. Infectious balanitis is more common in clinical practice.

2. Balanitis can be caused by infection or non-infection. Unhygienic sexual intercourse, infection with Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, gonorrhea, and Gonococcus can all cause balanitis. Non-infectious factors are mostly due to excessive foreskin and insufficient cleaning. The dirty things between the foreskin and the glans, namely smegma, will accumulate and stimulate the local foreskin and mucous membrane to cause inflammation.

3. Balanitis can also be caused by local physical factors such as excessive foreskin or poor rotation, trauma, friction, condoms, soap and detergents that cause local irritation.

2. Treatment of balanitis

1. Keep the area clean to prevent secondary infection. Apply iodine-fluoride solution or anti-inflammatory ointment locally. Allergic balanitis requires oral anti-allergic drugs and topical cortisone ointment.

2. For exudate erosion, you can use 3% boric acid water or 0.1% levulinol wet compress.

3. Corticosteroid cream can be used for patients in the non-infectious subacute stage.

4. For chronic stage or dry desquamation, tetracycline cortisone ointment can be used.

5. If the infection is obvious, with fever and lymphadenopathy, systemic antibiotics such as cefuroxime or ofloxacin can be applied.

6. Circumcision: If the foreskin or foreskin is swollen and cannot be turned over for washing and drainage is not smooth, and the inflammation still cannot subside after general treatment, dorsal circumcision can be performed to facilitate drainage. Circumcision can be performed after the inflammation completely subsides.

In summary, patients with circumvallate balanoposthitis should pay attention to their personal hygiene, especially local cleanliness. They should have a regular daily routine and eat a light diet. It is recommended to drink plenty of water and avoid spicy food. If treatment is needed, it must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. Finally, I wish the patient a speedy recovery.
