What should I do if my glans penis is red, swollen and painful when urinating?

Many male friends have various urinary system diseases, and most of them will affect their normal life, often making them miserable. The glans penis is an organ at the front of the urinary system, so it is very easy to cause inflammation due to infection, injury, etc., causing trouble and inconvenience in life. Let me analyze it for you.

Glanitis can be caused by many factors, such as local physical stimulation (trauma, friction, contraceptive devices, detergents, urine, etc.), foreskin is too long, phimosis, smegma stimulation, various infections (fungi, amoeba, etc.) and drug allergy.

It is mainly based on clinical manifestations, combined with pathological examination and laboratory examination. For example, if it is caused by Candida infection, direct microscopic examination and culture of the lesion site can find Candida; if it is caused by amoeba, smear examination of secretions can find amoeba; pathological changes of plasmacytoid glansitis have diagnostic value. This disease should be distinguished from fixed drug eruption caused by drugs.

Keep the area clean and avoid all kinds of stimulation. Circumcision should be performed for those with prepuce that is too long. For those with erosion, exudation or purulent secretions, apply 1% ethacridine solution or 1:8000 potassium permanganate solution. For those with dryness and desquamation, apply glucocorticoid ointment. For those with clear etiology, appropriate drug treatment should be given.

Oral antifungal drugs, such as itraconazole, fluconazole, miconazole, and ketoconazole. Metronidazole, tinidazole, and trichostatin can be used for trichomoniasis. Emetine, metronidazole, and tinidazole are given for amebic guanitis. If your spouse also suffers from candidal vaginitis or trichomoniasis, they must be treated at the same time.

There are many reasons that can cause glans inflammation in life, so many male friends will cause glans inflammation if they are not careful, which will bring a lot of discomfort to themselves. Therefore, I hope that the majority of male friends will pay attention to some small details in their personal living habits while paying attention to the quality of life to avoid such things from happening.
