Phimitis of the glans penis

Nowadays, many men suffer from male diseases. There are many types of male diseases, and they greatly affect men's physical health. You must have heard of balanitis. The foreskin covers the glans penis. Balanitis is generally caused by fungal infection. Today, I will introduce you to balanitis of the glans penis. If we get balanitis of the glans penis in our lives, how should we treat it? Let's take a look at it together.

When the foreskin is too long or the foreskin is too long, the secretions of the sebaceous glands in the foreskin cannot be discharged, and the smegma with a strong odor is gradually formed. The smegma is suitable for the growth of bacteria, so it can cause inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin. Inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin often exist at the same time, so they are collectively called glans penis prepuce inflammation. The main cause of glans penis prepuce inflammation is the foreskin or the foreskin is too long. In addition, unclean sexual intercourse, drug stimulation or allergy are also causes of the disease. Generally, when the infection is acute, there is often moisture, redness, swelling, pain, itching, and even erosion and shallow ulcers in the local area, and there is yellow purulent or milky white smelly secretion, accompanied by a special odor. In severe cases, the glans penis may die. After an acute attack, the infection may cause the foreskin to adhere to the glans penis, preventing the foreskin from turning up, and even causing urethral stenosis. Some patients may experience urethral stenosis after the acute phase, causing difficulty in urination. Repeated infection may cause the glans penis or foreskin to thicken and form white spots.

Western medicine treatment

1. Local treatment: Keep the area clean and avoid irritation. Soak or wet compress the area with 1:5000 potassium permanganate. If the pus in the foreskin is not drained smoothly, perform a longitudinal incision of the back foreskin for drainage and cleaning. After the infection is controlled, perform a circumcision.

2. Special treatment: For infections with clear etiology, special treatment should be given. For candidal balanoposthitis, 1% to 3% clotrimazole or ketoconazole cream can be used topically. For vaginal Trichomonas infection, oral metronidazole can be used.

3. Systemic treatment Patients with more severe infection and suspected necrotizing glansitis accompanied by fever and inguinal lymph node enlargement require systemic antibiotics.

The above are some of the symptoms and treatment methods of balanitis that we introduced to you. Balanitis must not be ignored, otherwise it will affect the male's body and reproductive system diseases, and even affect his fertility. We should pay attention to our physical condition at ordinary times. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
