Can I have sex if I have glansitis?

The glans penis is an important part of the male reproductive organ. If a man wants to reach orgasm, he needs to stimulate the glans penis. However, the glans penis is also a very fragile organ. If people do not pay attention to their hygiene in daily life, they are very susceptible to viral infection and glansitis. There are many things that cannot be done after the human body has glansitis. So can you have sex with glansitis?

If you have glansitis, you cannot have sex. Inflammation of the glans is usually caused by foreskin inflammation or unclean sexual behavior, which causes infection with pathogenic bacteria, such as herpes, eczema, gonorrhea, etc. Men should not be careless after the situation occurs. Glansitis can be transmitted through sexual behavior and cause certain harm to women. Only after going to a standard hospital for examination and treatment can you recover and resume normal life.

Treatment approach

If it is trichomonas or candidal glansitis, the couple should be treated at the same time. Targeted drug treatment should be selected according to the pathogen and drug sensitivity test. For patients with recurrent phimosis, surgical treatment should be performed after the inflammation subsides.

General 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.Surgery

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

Drug treatment

1. 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.

2. Systemic medication

Systemic antibiotics should be selected based on the pathogen and drug sensitivity tests.
