Pain around the glans

Many male friends always do not take the problem of pain on the edge of the glans seriously after it occurs. They do not think of taking specific measures or even going to the hospital for detailed examination. However, the pain in the glans already indicates that there are inflammatory changes in the glans area. If you do not treat it properly at this time, the glans inflammation will only become more serious. The reason why most men have these problems is due to trauma.

(1) Balanitis. Balanitis can cause glans redness, swelling, pain, erosion, pus discharge, etc. Therefore, the causes of glans itching and redness are mostly caused by balanitis.

(2) Including local trauma, friction, contraceptives, soaps and detergents and other irritations, which may manifest locally as redness, swelling, itching, erosion, exudation and even bleeding of the glans.

(3) Bacterial infection. Secondary bacterial infection can cause suppuration and form ulcers. The patient will experience significant pain and have difficulty moving. This is clinically known as acute superficial glansitis.

(1) Redness and swelling of the glans penis lead to balanitis sicca. Balanitis sicca is a more serious form of balanitis that damages the physiological structure of the foreskin and glans penis, affects sexual life and aesthetics, and is also a common cause of premature ejaculation.

(2) Redness and swelling of the glans penis causes sexual dysfunction. The sensory nerves in the glans penis are in a sensitive period, and coupled with the damage caused by inflammation, premature ejaculation is more likely to occur during sexual intercourse, which can lead to impotence in the long run.

Redness and swelling of the glans penis can cause ascending infection of the urinary system. It is common in cystitis, nephritis, pyelonephritis, etc., especially in those who have not been cured for a long time. It is most likely to cause urinary system diseases. Improper treatment in the acute stage can be life-threatening.

(1) Pay attention to local hygiene and clean the glans penis and foreskin every day. If the foreskin is too long, it should be treated promptly and circumcised if necessary. It is also necessary to clean the smegma in time.

(2) If ulcers or erosions occur, the dressing should be changed promptly, twice a day, to avoid uncomfortable irritation.

(3) Suspend sexual activity and seek treatment promptly. If you have trichomonas infection or Candida albicans infection, both husband and wife should be treated at the same time.

(4) If it is caused by acute balanitis, avoid using corticosteroid ointments to prevent more serious infection.
