The glans inflammation has not been cured

Penitis is a health problem that troubles many men. After the occurrence of penile inflammation, whether it is the health of men's private parts, urethral system, or men's sexual ability and fertility, it will cause a certain impact. However, there are also many people who have never cured their penile glans. This may be caused by improper treatment methods. Below, I will introduce you to the treatment methods of penile inflammation in detail!

1. General 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.

(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, the affected area can be cleaned with sodium bicarbonate solution and then imidazole ointment can be applied. 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.

3. Systemic medication

Systemic antibiotics should be selected according to the pathogen and drug sensitivity test. For the treatment of acute superficial balanitis and annular erosive balanitis, antibiotics sensitive to Gram-positive cocci can be used first. The treatment of trichomonal balanitis should start with metronidazole. Fluconazole or itraconazole is often used to treat balanitis caused by Candida albicans.

4. Surgical treatment

Patients with recurrent balanitis due to excessive foreskin or phimosis should undergo circumcision after the inflammation subsides.
