What ointment is best for glans inflammation?

If you don't pay attention to private hygiene, it is easy to cause various inflammations. Balanitis should be familiar to men, and it is also a very common disease among men's diseases. If you suffer from balanitis, some patients will have some abnormal secretions in the glans, and even pain. In fact, balanitis can be relieved by using some ointments. So, what ointment is best?

Balanitis is inflammation of the glans penis, which refers to inflammation of the glans penis caused by trauma, irritation or infection. Since glans inflammation often coexists with inflammation of the inner foreskin, glans inflammation and balanoposthitis are usually collectively referred to as balanoposthitis. The main clinical manifestations are local redness, swelling, erosion and ulcer formation. Balanitis can retrogradely infect the urinary system, causing cystitis, pyelonephritis, etc. In addition, if the inflammation is not cured for a long time, it can directly affect sexual life, leading to impotence, premature ejaculation and other phenomena. This disease is more common in summer and autumn, and mostly occurs in middle-aged and young men, especially those with prepuce or phimosis.

1. General treatment

(1) Keep the area clean, avoid various irritations, and clean the glans penis and foreskin daily.

(2) Avoid unprotected sexual intercourse and suspend sexual activity during treatment. If it is trichomonas or candidal glansitis, both husband and wife should be treated at the same time.

(3) Avoid using corticosteroids during the acute phase to avoid aggravating the infection. If the foreskin is severely edematous, do not forcibly retract the foreskin.

(4) If there are ulcers or erosions on the inner foreskin and glans penis, the dressing should be changed promptly, twice a day.

(5) Eat less spicy food and avoid smoking and drinking.

2. Local treatment

For patients with erosive exudation or purulent secretions, apply wet compresses with 1% ethacridine solution or 1:8000 potassium permanganate solution. For patients with dryness and scaling, apply glucocorticoid ointment. For patients with Candida infection, clean the affected area with sodium bicarbonate solution and then apply imidazole ointment. For patients with Trichomonas infection, rinse with 0.5%-1% lactic acid solution or 0.5% acetic acid solution, and then apply anti-inflammatory ointment. Intermittent administration of medium-acting fluoride-free hormone ointment has a good effect on synovial glansitis.
