What are the dangers of redness and swelling on the inner side of the foreskin?

Because it is in the private part and the symptoms are not obvious, many people may ignore the symptoms of redness and swelling of the inner foreskin. However, redness and swelling of the inner foreskin is not necessarily a simple allergy, but may be caused by a disease. Therefore, it is important to understand the harm of redness and swelling of the inner foreskin so that you can prevent it as early as possible. Let us introduce it to you in detail.

The common cause of redness and swelling of the inner side of the foreskin is balanoposthitis, which not only causes redness and swelling of the foreskin, but also manifests as burning pain, aggravated during urination, and purulent secretions flowing out of the foreskin opening. If the foreskin is turned over, the inner plate of the foreskin and the glans penis can be seen to be congested and swollen. In severe cases, there may be shallow ulcers or erosions, showing pus. Its main hazards are:

1. Harm to reproductive health. Balanitis can easily lead to prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis and inflammation of the vas deferens and other organs. If it is not treated effectively and in a timely manner, combined infection will cause great harm to reproductive health.

2. Lead to urinary system diseases. Balanitis can easily cause ascending infection of the urinary system, which is generally common in cystitis, nephritis, pyelonephritis, etc., especially chronic glansitis that has not been cured for a long time is prone to urinary system diseases. Improper treatment in the acute stage can be life-threatening.

3. It can cause male infertility. Due to the long-term stimulation of inflammatory factors on the regulation of sperm and sexual response in the reproductive system, and the inflammatory secretions hidden in the foreskin enter the vagina together with semen during the process, the quality of semen is reduced, and the ovarian cells are damaged, leading to the occurrence of male infertility.

Other causes of redness and swelling on the inner side of the foreskin

1. Masturbation causes foreskin damage. 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.

2. Not paying attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia. If you do not pay attention to regular cleaning of the external genitalia, or do not turn the foreskin up when cleaning, the secretions of the sebaceous glands of the foreskin will accumulate under the foreskin, forming smegma that looks like tofu dregs. Smegma is a good culture medium for bacteria, and it is easy to induce dermatitis if it is not removed in time.

To sum up, redness and swelling of the inner side of the foreskin are almost always caused by bad habits. It is completely unnecessary for small habits in life to lead to major health diseases. Therefore, male friends are advised to pay attention to the development of personal hygiene habits and avoid unclean sex in order to maintain personal reproductive health and improve personal quality of life.
