Patients with trichomonas can be treated with mitraz. Patients with obvious infection and fever and lymph node enlargement can be treated with antibiotics.

2. Keep the area clean and hygienic to avoid irritation. How to effectively treat balanitis?

2. Common causes of glansitis

1. Non-infectious factors. These include local trauma, friction, contraceptives, soaps and detergents, etc., which may cause local edema, erythema, erosion, exudation and even bleeding. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, it may cause suppuration and form an ulcer. The patient will experience obvious pain and difficulty in moving. This is clinically called acute superficial glansitis.

2. Candida infection. Candida is a conditionally pathogenic fungus, so candidal glans inflammation often occurs after diabetes, senile wasting diseases, and large amounts of antibiotics or hormone treatment. It can also be primary, mostly caused by the spouse's candidal vaginitis. The glans and coronal sulcus may have light red erosions and thin-walled abscesses, but Candida is often not found locally, which may be caused by local allergic reactions caused by Candida.

3. Amoeba infection. Most patients first have balanoposthitis, which causes the local loss of normal barrier function, and then is caused by intestinal amoebiasis. Local erosion, ulceration, and tissue necrosis are obvious, and amoeba can be found in direct smears of secretions.

4. Trichomonas infection. It is usually caused by the spouse suffering from vaginal trichomoniasis. The symptoms are mild, mainly manifested as erythematous papules and small blisters on the glans. The patient often feels itchy, and trichomonas can be found in the secretions.
