Swelling, pain and pus discharge from the glans penis

If a man has symptoms of redness, swelling and purulent glans, it is likely that he has glansitis, which is caused by infection with Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia and other bacteria. He should go to a urologist or reproductive infection department for examination as soon as possible to confirm the diagnosis and then choose a treatment method to prevent the condition from getting worse. Let's take a closer look at the examination methods for redness, swelling and purulent glans.

The immediate microscopic examination method is mainly to take samples of the male genitals, glans penis, coronal sulcus and the surface of the skin lesions at the foreskin as samples for waiting inspection. When waiting for sample collection, it is necessary to use 10% ferric chloride solution or saline solution. According to the immediate microscopic examination, inverted elliptical spores and pseudomycin can be observed. If pseudomycin is found, it means that the disease is caused by trichomonas.

The staining method is mainly optional, Gram staining, Congo red staining or PAS staining, and the positive rate of staining is higher than that of immediate microscopy. Gram staining, spores and pseudofungi are bleached blue

The trichomonas antigen test mainly uses the immune double diffusion method or the gelatin gel agglutination method to detect whether the patient has Candida albicans antigen.

Regarding the examination method, if the patient has trichomonal balanitis, samples can be taken immediately from the diseased glans foreskin; candidal balanitis can be examined based on secretions.

Patients with negative acid-fast staining test can undergo trichomonas culture test and specimens can be collected for Sabouraud culture under the standard of sterility test.

According to the above content, we can understand that the redness, swelling and festering of the glans is actually what we usually call glans inflammation. The occurrence of this type of disease is mainly caused by infection from bacteria or non-infectious factors, due to long foreskin or insufficient cleaning, coupled with unclean sexual life. At this time, urine scale will be produced, which will irritate the foreskin and mucosa and cause inflammation. In daily life, we must prevent the occurrence of symptoms and go to the hospital for regular examination and treatment as soon as possible.
