1. What medicine is used for glansitis?

It is important to choose the medicine for glansitis properly. There are two kinds of medicines for glansitis: oral or topical antibiotics, which are mainly used to treat glansitis symptoms caused by bacterial or fungal infections. If the symptoms of glansitis are caused by skin irritation by chemicals, it is necessary to avoid contact with the relevant chemicals. If necessary, the doctor will use medicine to reduce the itching and pain of the patient. Therefore, the medicine for glansitis can be oral or topical antibiotics.

2. Misunderstandings in the treatment of glansitis

2.1. Mistakenly treating glansitis as a sexually transmitted disease

When glansitis occurs, most patients think it is a sexually transmitted disease and use external disinfectant and anti-inflammatory cleaners on their own. This causes strong chemical stimulation to the local skin, resulting in redness, swelling and exudation, which aggravates the inflammatory reaction and may eventually lead to chronic glansitis.

2.2. Ignoring the treatment of glansitis in the early stage

Due to the high incidence of balanitis, the initial symptoms are mild and sometimes better and sometimes worse, so it is easy to be ignored in daily life until it becomes serious and then go to the doctor. By the time of the doctor's visit, it is already accompanied by complications and comorbidities, which has caused great damage to the reproductive health system, so it is necessary to check and treat balanitis early.

3. Early symptoms of glansitis

3.1. Acute superficial glansitis: Once the patient suffers from this disease, symptoms of edematous erythema and erosion, bleeding and exudation will appear. In severe cases, patients may also develop blisters. If the patient has a secondary infection, ulcers may also form, and purulent exudates will appear on top. The patient can feel obvious pain and tenderness. Some patients will also have concomitant mild systemic symptoms, such as weakness, fatigue and low fever, as well as enlarged inguinal lymph nodes, which will bring adverse effects to the patients.

3.2. Plasmacytic glansitis: This disease usually occurs in middle-aged patients. The glans of the patient will have localized and infiltrative dark red-brown patches with clear borders and smooth surfaces. There will also be many small red spots or erosions. Bleeding will occur easily, but ulcers will not form. At the same time, tissue pathology has a certain diagnostic value. The unique feature of the patient is the infiltration of band-like inflammatory cells in the superficial dermis, during which a large number of plasma cells will also appear.
