The dangers of male balanitis

Human males are now facing many diseases. Some male diseases are very common. What is male balanitis? I believe that many young men are very curious about this question. In fact, this approach is correct. We should take every medical issue seriously. It can help everyone. Next, we will talk about male balanitis in detail.

Phimosis refers to the condition in which the foreskin covers the entire glans when the penis is in a relaxed state. If the foreskin not only covers the entire glans but also has a narrow opening and cannot be turned outward, this condition is medically called phimosis.

Whether it is prepuce or foreskin, the characteristic is that the foreskin covers the glans penis and urethra for a long time, so that the mucus secreted by the glands in the inner plate of the foreskin, urethra, coronal sulcus and other parts cannot be discharged and accumulates in the foreskin. In addition, the "irrigation" of urine makes the foreskin and coronal sulcus local area a good bacterial breeding area. The organic components in those secretions and urine become the natural "food bank" of bacteria. Bacteria reproduce in the fertile breeding bag with suitable temperature and humidity, and "make trouble" in the local area from time to time. Especially in summer, the vigorous secretion of human glands just provides sufficient nutrition for bacteria, and the bacterial family also prospers.

They mainly cause glans balanitis, which manifests as local redness, swelling, papules, ulcers, etc. In some patients, bacteria develop deep into the human body along the urethra and may invade the male reproductive system such as the prostate, seminal vesicles, epididymis, and testicles. Especially for patients with phimosis, a large amount of secretions cannot be discharged, and the accumulation can form smegma. Children with phimosis often see bumpy "lumps" on the surface of the foreskin, which are smegma.

Because the foreskin is too long, it creates a good place for bacteria to survive and hide, and it is difficult to completely reduce the inflammation with anti-inflammatory treatment. It is often like "a spark that starts a prairie fire", leading to recurring phimosis and glans inflammation. Some patients have experienced glans inflammation for decades, and the long-term chronic stimulation of the glans epithelial cells eventually leads to penile cancer and endangerment of life due to the transformation from quantitative change to qualitative change. The harmfulness of foreskin too long to humans cannot be ignored.

The above describes the medical knowledge that people want to know about male balanitis. I think many people should know it very well after reading this description! Therefore, young men who have these diseases should pay special attention to them. If you have this disease, you should seek treatment in time. Don't miss the treatment period. Protect your body. Be happy every day!
