What are the treatments for glansitis?

In the hot summer, many men are troubled by the increasing chance of suffering from glansitis. Most glansitis is caused by bacterial infection. Generally speaking, the only way to remove the bacteria inside and prevent fungal infection is to remove the foreskin. However, some people suffer from repeated glansitis, which troubles their health and causes urinary tract infection if they cannot receive treatment. Let's learn about the treatment of glansitis!

1) Turn the foreskin up, clean the area with 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, and keep it dry. If the foreskin cannot be turned up, cut the back of the foreskin to facilitate drainage and cleaning. (2) Take certain antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor. (3) After the inflammation subsides, circumcision is recommended for those with foreskin or prepuce that is too long. (4) After glansitis, be careful not to eat spicy and hot foods. (5) Foreskin and glansitis caused by allergies

Edit this section Treatment measures

For balanitis, you can use 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution to soak and apply anti-inflammatory ointment. For allergic balanitis, you need to take oral anti-allergic drugs and apply cortisone ointment externally. If the foreskin or foreskin is swollen and cannot be turned over for soaking and drainage is not smooth, and the inflammation still cannot subside after general treatment, dorsal circumcision can be performed to facilitate drainage. Wait until the inflammation completely subsides before circumcision. Key points for the treatment of balanitis:

1. Remove irritants.

2. When erosion and exudation occur, apply wet compress with 3% boric acid solution or 0.05% berberine solution.

3. Anti-infection treatment: for different pathogens, antifungal, anti-trichomoniasis and other drugs are used. 4. For those caused by allergic factors, topical corticosteroid hormone preparations are used.

(1) Acute superficial glansitis: It is usually caused by friction from underwear, trauma, or local irritation from soap or detergent. Symptoms include edema, erythema, exudation, erosion, secondary infection with purulent secretions, easy formation of ulcers, and spontaneous pain.

(2) Erosive glansitis: The lesions on the glans and prepuce are ring-shaped, or the ring-shaped smegma is cheese-like. It is easy to break into superficial ulcers over time. If the ring-shaped characteristics are lost, it is difficult to distinguish from superficial glansitis. This disease can exist alone or as a mucosal symptom of Reiter syndrome. (3) Cellular glansitis: It is more common in middle-aged people. It is a single or multiple chronic inflammatory disease that does not subside for a long time. The lesions are plaque-like, with a smooth or scaly or moist surface and obvious infiltration. The boundaries are clear and not easy to break. Small paprika-like spots can be seen on the surface. The appearance is difficult to distinguish from proliferative erythema of the glans.

(4) Maternal and keratotic pseudoepitheliomatous glansitis: The glans is damaged and infiltrated, hyperkeratotic, and has mica-like crusts. The affected area loses its normal elasticity and atrophies over time. Histopathology shows hyperkeratosis, hypertrophy of the spinous layer, and elongated epidermal processes that show pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia.

It is actually not difficult to find a way to treat glans inflammation. First of all, we must pay attention to prevent inflammation, bacterial growth, itching and odor on the glans. At the same time, we can choose to pay attention and avoid going to public places and pay more attention to changing underwear frequently.
