What diseases occur in the coronary sulcus?

The health care of the coronal sulcus should be paid attention to, because in fact these areas are also prone to more reproductive health diseases, such as the common balanitis, which is encountered by many men. Therefore, we should also pay attention to the care of these areas. Now I will introduce in detail what diseases are prone to occur in the coronal sulcus.

Many patients develop erythema or small papules on the glans of the penis and suspect that they have a sexually transmitted disease. When they go to the doctor, they find out that it is balanoposthitis (glanvical balanitis). In fact, balanoposthitis is a common disease. Balanoposthitis is divided into balanoposthitis and glansitis. Because they often appear at the same time, it is called penile balanoposthitis. This inflammation can be infectious or non-infectious. Infectious balanoposthitis is more common in clinical practice. Infectious ones are often caused by unclean sexual intercourse, infection with Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Gonorrhea or other bacteria; non-infectious factors are mostly due to excessive foreskin and insufficient cleaning, which causes the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and the glans penis, namely smegma, which irritates the local foreskin and mucous membrane and causes inflammation.

Common clinical types of balanitis include the following, and their symptoms are:

(1) Acute superficial balanoposthitis is characterized by local redness at the onset, redness and swelling of the penis skin, and a burning and itching sensation at the glans. When the foreskin is turned back, the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans can be seen to be congested and eroded, with exudate and even bleeding. After secondary infection, small ulcers can be seen, with foul-smelling milky white purulent secretions. If rubbed against underwear, it will be painful, and the patient often has difficulty in moving. It may be accompanied by enlargement and tenderness of the inguinal lymph nodes.

(2) Annular ulcerated balanoposthitis: Red spots can be seen on the glans and foreskin. They gradually expand and become ring-shaped, and may form superficial ulcers.

(3) Candida albicans balanoposthitis: Erythema can be seen on the foreskin and glans, with a smooth surface and small blisters. The edges of the erythema are clear, and there are erosions and exudates during acute attacks.

In fact, no matter what diseases occur in these parts, they are very detrimental to our reproductive health, so we must pay special attention to the reproductive health care of these parts, so that we can adopt the most targeted treatment and solutions to reduce the impact of these reproductive diseases.
