What are the symptoms of glans erosion?

The glans glans is a symbol of male sexual organs. The glans glans, penis, foreskin, etc. are components of the reproductive system. However, the glans glans can also be affected by bacteria or infection. In severe cases, erosion will occur. At this time, the glans glans will be found to be red and swollen, and erosion will also appear. However, the type of erosion varies depending on the onset of the disease, and the division of glans glans erosion will be different. So what are the symptoms of glans glans erosion? Let's take a look at the symptoms of different types of glans erosion.

(1) Traumatic glans erosion

The symptoms are epidermal peeling, fissures or localized erythema and edema. Those caused by sexual intercourse mainly injure the frenulum of the glans penis. Balanitis caused by friction of clothes is more common after long-distance walking.

(2) Allergic glans erosion

It is often caused by contact with soap, medicine, contraceptives or condoms. The foreskin and glans penis may have varying degrees of redness and swelling, erosion or edema of the glans penis, or even erosion and ulceration.

(3) Infectious glans erosion

Phimosis or prepuce is an important cause. The glans penis, coronal sulcus and inner side of the prepuce become red, swollen, eroded, and even form ulcers, with yellow purulent secretions, sometimes with a foul odor. In severe cases, there may be fever, chills, swollen and tender inguinal lymph nodes. Laboratory examination can detect pathogenic bacteria.

(4) Candida albicans erosion of the glans penis

It is common, especially in those whose spouses have Candida albicans infection. Other conditions such as diabetes or long-term use of antibiotics and immunosuppressants can also induce it. At the beginning, localized erythema appears on the glans penis and foreskin, covered with white soft scales. If the disease continues to develop, satellite pustules and superficial erosions may appear, with white cheese-like secretions on the surface, and severe itching.

(5) Erosion caused by acute superficial balanitis

Acute superficial balanoposthitis is characterized by local redness at the onset, redness and swelling of the penis skin, and a burning and itching sensation in 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 it rubs 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.

What are the symptoms of glans erosion? The above article explains the detailed symptom characteristics. When erosion occurs, there will be pain and the skin will be damaged. If the patient is not treated in time, it will cause serious bacterial infection. Erosion will also cause erosion. More seriously, it will cause other reproductive diseases. Therefore, when it is confirmed that the glans erosion is confirmed, it is necessary to find the cause of the disease and carry out detailed treatment, which can also prevent the erosion from continuing to worsen.
