Causes of red and itchy foreskin

I believe everyone knows the importance of foreskin to male friends. If there is a problem with the foreskin of a male friend, it will not only cause pain to the male friend but also bring great psychological pressure to the male friend. Therefore, we recommend that the majority of male friends pay attention to the health of their foreskin in daily life. Below we will introduce to you the reasons why the foreskin is red and itchy.

Redness, swelling and itching of the foreskin is the most common symptom of male reproductive infection. Since there are many causes of redness, swelling and itching of the foreskin in clinical practice, once the symptoms appear, you must go to a regular hospital for examination in time to find out the cause and treat the symptoms. Generally speaking, the causes of redness, swelling and itching of the foreskin are as follows:

1. Prepuce is too long: Due to the excessive length of the foreskin, the secretions of the inner plate cannot be cleared in time, allowing pathogens to grow and multiply here, causing local inflammation. The symptoms of prepuce and glans inflammation are redness and swelling of the foreskin, burning pain, aggravated during urination, and purulent secretions flowing out of the foreskin. If the foreskin is turned over, it can be seen that the inner plate of the foreskin and the glans penis are congested and swollen. In severe cases, there may be shallow ulcers or erosions, showing pus.

2. Excessive masturbation: Young people have strong sexual desire and often masturbate. Sometimes masturbation is too rough, which can cause varying degrees of foreskin damage. Because of the high level of excitement during masturbation, the damage is relatively small and may not be noticed, but the wound on the foreskin is very susceptible to bacterial contamination, thus inducing balanitis.

3. Candida infection: Candida infection is also a conditionally pathogenic fungus that causes redness, swelling and itching of the foreskin. Therefore, candidal glans inflammation often occurs secondary to diabetes, senile wasting diseases, and after large-scale antibiotic or hormone treatment. It can also be primary, mostly transmitted from the spouse's candidal vaginitis. The glans and coronal sulcus may have light red erosions and thin-walled pustules, but Candida is often not found locally, which may be caused by local allergic reaction caused by Candida.

Since the foreskin is an important part of the genitals, once there is a problem, especially when there are symptoms of redness, swelling and itching, it is easy to cause sexual dysfunction, male infertility and other diseases if not treated in time. Therefore, it is recommended that male friends go to a men's hospital for professional examination and treatment as soon as possible when the foreskin is red, swollen and itchy. Do not avoid seeing a doctor and misunderstand the pathogenesis.

In the above article, we introduced the importance of foreskin to male friends. We recommend that male friends should pay attention to protecting their foreskin in daily life. The above article introduces in detail the reasons for redness and itching of foreskin. I believe everyone has understood it.
