Does glans inflammation have any effect on pregnancy?

Sometimes women get pregnant without being fully prepared, and sometimes men may not know that they have glansitis, but does glansitis have any impact on pregnancy? Glansitis is very common. As long as there is no problem with the male's semen, pregnancy will not be greatly affected. Pregnant women should undergo strict examinations and follow the doctor's requirements for pregnancy tests. But pregnant women should pay attention to the occurrence of gynecological inflammation.

Patients with glansitis can get pregnant as long as there is no problem with the semen. The causes of glansitis are often caused by prepuce being too long, phimosis, masturbation, traumatic infection, etc., which lead to the shedding of keratinized epithelium and glandular secretion, forming good breeding conditions for other bacteria, causing inflammation. Its clinical manifestations are often seen in local itching, redness, swelling, erosion, and ulcers. In severe cases, there may be fever, chills, systemic symptoms, and even penis enlargement and pain. It is recommended that you use antibiotic ointment and clean it with potassium permanganate solution. Wash the foreskin and glans penis frequently to keep the foreskin cavity clean and dry. If the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs, circumcision should be performed. You should eat a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods.

treatment

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. For local treatment, for patients with erosion, 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 cerebrocytic glansitis.

3. Systemic medication Systemic antibiotics should be selected based on 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. For patients with recurrent balanitis due to excessive foreskin or phimosis, circumcision should be performed after the inflammation subsides.
