There are small particles in the folds of the glans

If small particles are found in the folds of the glans, anti-infection treatment should be carried out as soon as possible. This is mostly caused by bacteria invading the body and causing infection. If the condition is delayed, you will gradually find that your symptoms are becoming more and more serious, and will affect other skin tissues and some rashes will appear, which will make the treatment more difficult. In addition, you must pay attention to hygiene issues during treatment.

Balanitis is related to many factors, which can be divided into infectious factors and non-infectious factors. Under normal circumstances, a large number of bacteria, yeasts and spirochetes can parasitize in the foreskin sac, and when local or systemic resistance is weakened, these microorganisms can become pathogenic pathogens. Balanitis is mainly caused by bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, followed by Candida, Trichomonas, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, etc. can also cause balanitis.

Non-infectious factors include stimulation from urine, alkaline substances (such as detergents) and foreign substances (such as condoms); friction and trauma; excessive foreskin and insufficient cleaning leading to accumulation of smegma, which can cause damage to the glans foreskin mucosa and aggravate infection by various pathogens.

Amebic glansitis

When the foreskin and glans become inflamed, the barrier function of the epithelium is lost, which makes it easy for amoeba infection. The clinical manifestations are infiltrated erythema, erosion, shallow ulceration, obvious tissue necrosis and pain.

Mica and keratomatous pseudoepitheliomatous glansitis

It is more common in patients over 50 years old, often accompanied by phimosis. The skin of the glans is infiltrated and hypertrophic, with local hyperkeratosis and mica-like crusts, which are silvery white. The glans loses its normal elasticity and gradually atrophies.

Trichomonal glansitis

It is a mild, transient erosive glans inflammation caused by trichomonas infection. Patients often feel itchy, and the symptoms worsen during urination. Initially, erythema and papules appear on the glans, with clear boundaries and gradually expanding. There may be small blisters ranging from needle-sized to millet-sized on the erythema, which may expand and fuse with each other to form a mild erosive surface.

Dry obstructive glans

The early stage of the disease is chronic glans inflammation, with thickened mucosa, ivory white lesion area, and desquamation of the epidermis. In the late stage, the local area is scar-like atrophy. It can cause urethral stenosis and foreskin adhesion.
