What are the types of glans inflammation?

Simply put, galactitis is a common male disease among men. Most of the causes are due to not paying attention to personal hygiene. However, it takes time to treat galactitis, and the treatment methods required for different types are also different. Below I will summarize the types of galactitis for you, I hope it will be helpful to you.

(1) Acute superficial balanoposthitis is characterized by local redness at the onset, redness and swelling of the penis skin, and a burning and itching sensation at 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 rubbed 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.

(2) Annular ulcerated balanoposthitis: Red spots can be seen on the glans and foreskin. They gradually expand and become ring-shaped, and may form superficial ulcers.

(3) Candida albicans balanoposthitis: Erythema can be seen on the foreskin and glans, with a smooth surface and small blisters. The edges of the erythema are clear, and there are erosions and exudates during acute attacks.

(4) Trichomonas phimosis: papules and erythema appear on the glans, which gradually expand and have clear edges. Small blisters the size of a needle can be seen on the erythema, and finally an erosive surface is formed.

There are several types of glans inflammation, which are basically the ones mentioned above. The treatment drugs required for different types are not uniform, so you need to go to a regular hospital and receive targeted treatment after a doctor's examination. You cannot blindly take drugs on your own. In addition, you need to pay attention to maintaining personal hygiene on a daily basis, especially changing and washing underwear frequently, in order to effectively prevent and treat it. I wish you good health.
