Penile skin cracking

Men's reproductive organs can also get sick. Penile skin cracking may be caused by local inflammation. If the cracking is not serious, you can use medication to treat it and wait for healing. Severe cases require going to the hospital for suture surgery. Be careful not to squeeze the penis. Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment and pay attention to your own hygiene. If the foreskin is too long, you can undergo surgery to remove the foreskin. What are the causes of penile skin cracking?

This is a common disease in life, mainly caused by bacterial infection, especially in the hot summer, which is the main season for bacterial transmission and breeding. This phenomenon is particularly serious, and it can also infect other parts of the body due to the virus. Let's take a look at what is going on with foreskin cracks?

Because the sexual partner has fungal vaginitis, he will be infected again after sexual intercourse. Therefore, it is recommended that the sexual partner also go to a regular hospital for a gynecological examination to determine whether he has vaginitis. In clinical practice, if a man has balanitis or a woman has vaginitis, both men and women should undergo relevant examinations and receive joint treatment. Otherwise, if only one party receives treatment and there is no protective measure during sexual intercourse, cross-infection will occur to the other party.

Second, the patient may have high blood sugar. Diabetic patients have local skin lesions, and the exudate is richer in nutrients than normal people, which is easy for bacteria to grow, and the skin lesions are difficult to recover. Therefore, if a man has recurrent balanitis and his sexual partner does not have vaginitis, it is necessary to consider whether the man has systemic diseases such as diabetes.

Third, it may be inflammation caused by excessive foreskin. When the foreskin of a man is too long, the glans penis is not easy to be exposed, and the coronal sulcus and glans penis are easy to hide dirt. If you do not pay attention to cleaning the external genitalia, bacteria will breed and produce smegma, which will stimulate the local mucosa and cause inflammation. At this time, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to avoid retrograde inflammation and cause urethritis. If a person with excessive foreskin has repeated foreskin and glans inflammation, he should consider circumcision.

Candidal balanitis: It is more common in cases of excessive foreskin and a history of unclean sexual intercourse. The foreskin and glans penis may be slightly flushed. There may be white cheese-like patches on the inner foreskin and the glans glans coronal sulcus. There may be needle-sized light red papules on the glans glans. If the foreskin and scrotum are invaded, scaly erythema may be seen. If the fossa navicularis is involved, there may be frequent urination and dysuria. There may be burning sensation and itching locally. Occasionally, fulminant edema balanitis may occur, which is mainly manifested by obvious edema and severe itching of the foreskin penis, with shallow ulcers.
