Is sunbathing useful for glans inflammation?

Sunbathing has a certain effect on glansitis, mainly because sunlight can sterilize and disinfect. However, sunbathing will not have a sterilizing effect if the foreskin is too long, and long-term sunbathing will also hurt the glans. Therefore, if you have glansitis, it is best not to sunbathe. You can clean the glans with saline, then take anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment, adjust your diet and pay attention to penile hygiene.

The penis needs to be exposed to the sun. Ventilation and drying are definitely good for the symptoms of glansitis. Generally speaking, people with excessive foreskin will have this symptom. If there is no excessive foreskin, it is usually caused by the accumulation of foreskin in the coronal groove. Because the glans has a normal secretion function, the secretion will not be directly rubbed onto the underwear, but will be covered by the foreskin in the coronal groove, so glansitis will occur.

Can men use salt water to clean their glans if they have glansitis?

Penitis often causes erythematous papules and small blisters on the glans. Sometimes sexual intercourse is painful, and tiny cracks and slight swelling and pain can be seen on the inner layer of the foreskin and the skin at the foreskin opening. In severe cases, erosion and abscesses may occur. When inflammation is found, many people will first think of washing with salt water. In fact, the common knowledge of salt water sterilization is based on the principle of osmotic pressure.

If there are two areas of low concentration and high concentration in an environment, water will flow from the low concentration area to the high concentration area, and eventually the concentrations of the two areas will be the same. To put it simply, things with less water will absorb water. Of course, this statement is too simple and not accurate, it is just a figurative summary.

The same is true for so-called saline sterilization. If the concentration of salt in the saline is greater than the concentration of bacterial cell fluid, the water in the bacteria will flow into the saline. Depending on the degree of water loss in the cells, the bacteria may lose too much water and die.

However, there are many kinds of organisms in nature, and different bacteria have different salt tolerance, so the ability of salt water to sterilize is also different. Moreover, the salt water we prepare in our lives is obviously not suitable for cleaning glans inflammation because of its uncertain concentration.

However, when there is no proper disinfectant, using concentrated saline water to sterilize external injuries is a makeshift solution. After all, homemade saline water cannot be compared with real medical potassium permanganate lotion, iodine tincture, alcohol, etc.

Can glans inflammation be cleaned with saline? I believe you know the answer after reading the above. It is recommended that patients with glans inflammation seek medical attention in time and use medical potassium permanganate lotion, iodine and alcohol to clean the affected area according to the doctor's instructions, rather than blindly using saline to clean it.
