Foreign object in the penis

The penis is covered by the foreskin and has a cavernous body inside. When a man is sexually stimulated, the cavernous body suddenly becomes engorged, causing the penis to swell. This is also the basis for sexual intercourse between men and women. However, if the foreskin is too long, it will cause dirt to accumulate, causing the penis to face inflammation. If you find foreign objects in the penis, you should also be alert to the possibility that it is caused by inflammation.

Common clinical types of balanitis include the following, and their symptoms are:

1. Acute superficial balanoposthitis is characterized by local flushing at the onset, redness and swelling of the penis skin, and a burning and itching sensation in 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 it rubs 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: Erythema can be seen on the glans and foreskin, which gradually expands and becomes ring-shaped, and may form superficial ulcers.

3. In case of Candida albicans balanitis, 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 glans penis will cause papules and erythema on the glans penis, which will gradually expand and have clear edges. Small blisters the size of a needle can be seen on the erythema, and finally an erosive surface will form.

The white discharge on the penis is caused by the foreskin being too long, because the foreskin will secrete some sebum, and the foreskin being too long will cause these sebum to not be effectively cleaned, and slowly accumulate to form smegma, which sometimes emits an unpleasant smell. The white substance on the penis is the smegma. If it is not cleaned in time, it will lead to a large number of bacteria breeding, leading to balanitis.

If the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs, the foreskin will be turned outward frequently, and foreign matter will be present in the glans coronal groove, forming smegma. Smegma is a place for bacteria to reproduce. The residual urine and smegma mix to form a natural culture base for bacteria, which can stimulate the glans and cause inflammation, called balanitis, which causes the glans to be red, swollen and itchy frequently. If the inflammation occurs at the urethral opening, it can cause the urethral opening to narrow after healing, causing difficulty in urination.

How to treat glansitis?

1. Keep your genitals healthy and clean

This treatment method is actually very healthy. It only requires men with glans inflammation to keep their local area clean at all times, try to avoid irritation of the glans, and prevent secondary infection of glans inflammation. In addition, you can use 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution to clean the glans. It is worth noting that this treatment method cannot eliminate the disease, but can only play a preventive role and is used as an auxiliary treatment.

2. Anti-foreskin virus infection

This treatment method first requires different antifungal drugs for different pathogens. Generally, doctors will use antifungal injections or anti-trichomoniasis and other related drugs for treatment. If the infection of the patient with balanitis is more serious, and the patient also has varying degrees of fever or lymph node enlargement, etc., then relevant antibiotics can be applied to the patient's whole body. If the balanitis is caused by allergic factors, you can try some topical corticosteroid hormone preparations. The disadvantage of this method is that long-term use of antiviral drugs can easily bring different side effects to the human body. For example, if the gastrointestinal tract of patients with balanitis has abnormal reactions, they should stop using them in time.

3. Circumcision treatment for patients with balanitis

If the patient is unable to turn over and soak the foreskin due to severe edema of the foreskin or the foreskin itself, bacteria will accumulate and drainage will be poor. If the inflammation still cannot be cured after general treatment, the patient can go to the hospital for a dorsal circumcision, which can effectively drain the foreskin. Wait until the inflammation of the patient with balanitis has completely subsided and healed before going to the hospital for a circumcision.
