Brother, suddenly the lower body discomfort, redness, swelling and itching, and quickly remembered not to do anything “bad”, how the penis has become like this? It’s a question of whether or not to report it to the head of the family! If you’re struggling with this at the moment, see if you’ve got a case of circumcision!
The foreskin glansitis is an inflammatory reaction of the head of the penis (glans) and foreskin that can trigger pain, tenderness and itching, sometimes swelling, discharge and odor, difficulty in turning up the foreskin, and serious painful urination. It is common in men who have not been circumcised and can develop at any age, but is more common in young people and is encountered almost every day in urology clinics. It happens on a man’s “lifeblood”, so it is very embarrassing and nerve-wracking to visit the clinic. The “lady” is a few of those who have been “messing around” with their own improperly or fallen into the medical trap, but in fact it is a small illness, no need to panic, here is a small guide.
There are many reasons that can lead to foreskin glansitis, because there are many substances that are susceptible here, such as soap, dust, chemicals, infections, etc.
Personal hygiene: Poor hygiene of the glans and foreskin is the most common cause. If this area is not properly cleaned and dried, the accumulation of residual urine, sebum, dander, sweat, etc. forms foreskin scale, which stimulates the production of foreskin glansitis. If the foreskin is too tight and difficult to turn up, it becomes more and more difficult to clean and dry the foreskin, which can aggravate the hygiene problem. But excessive washing is also an irritation to the glans, and even aggravates the disease.
Infections: Bacterial infections are often a complication of poor personal hygiene and are a breeding ground for germs. Fungal infections are the same thing, and with a long foreskin, the glans and foreskin fit closely together making secretion and sweat impermeable, and this environment is the best environment for fungal growth. And there are many fungal vaginitis in women, and the fungus can also be obtained directly through sexual intercourse. Other sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, are mostly urethritis, “peeing pain and flowing things”. Herpes can occur on the foreskin or glans, but the manifestations are mostly mild.
Chemical irritation: soap, lotion, clothing softener, disinfectant, fungicide, condom (its own material, lubricant, spermicide, etc.), hand disinfectant or other chemicals left on the hands, convenient when stroking the penis may also cause chemical irritation or allergy.
Skin lesions: Some patients have mossy sclerosis or psoriasis, which can be misdiagnosed as common foreskin glans, and such lesions are relatively uncommon.
Uncontrolled diabetes: If blood sugar levels are high, urine sugar will also be high. The urine remains on the foreskin and glans, and the sugar in it provides a good material basis for infection.
What should I do if I have foreskin infection?
Treatment is definitely most effective for the cause, so the doctor has to diagnose it through examination and then apply measures. Cleaning and drying are generally the most effective methods, and local cleanliness and good hygiene are most important, but at the same time excessive hygiene can also cause problems. In most cases, soaking in warm water, soaking through (penis in a cup), and then dipping a clean towel in dryness will achieve the purpose of cleaning.
The other thing is to be sure to dry thoroughly before putting the foreskin back on. Two to three times a day can be, do not have to be excessively repeated, especially some exudate dry crust, forcibly removed instead of increasing fresh trauma, is not conducive to healing. In most cases, the above method will get better in a few days. In severe cases, it is important to see a doctor for guidance based on the specifics of the inflammatory response.
In some cases, the doctor may take a sample for laboratory testing with a swab or scrape and apply antibacterial medications and antifungal creams. However, it is important to know that these topical medications are also chemicals and can trigger irritation as well. Therefore, they must be used with caution, especially if there is trauma or exudation.
In some special cases, dermatitis is too heavy to control with some hormonal creams, but only for a short time yo. In very special cases, where the infection inside the foreskin is so heavy and tight that it cannot be cleaned or treated, surgical incision is also an option.
How to stay away from this annoying thing?
As mentioned above, personal hygiene is the most common cause, so proper cleaning and drying is the best means of prevention. A warm, neutral and gentle bath is appropriate, and make sure the area is dry before dressing.
If you suspect that a new soap or lotion is irritating, stop using it immediately and record the brand to make sure you don’t buy or use it again in the future. Use the same method to deal with “condoms”. In the context of an open society, condoms are the best protection against infection if you have a “new love”.
If you are constantly exposed to chemicals, wash your hands before urinating. Also, don’t be afraid to use a lot of disinfectant after urinating for fear of “dirty hands”. If you have diabetes, make sure you keep it under control. This systemic disease can affect more than just that.
There are some things to keep in mind so that you don’t fall into misconceptions, such as.
1. inflammation must be an infection, hurry up and take the medicine, preferably with a bottle of water, to get better quickly.
2, skin infections, topical medication is indispensable, more than a few times a day.
3, since it is a matter of hygiene, daily disinfection, potassium permanganate, skin Kang, Jieer Yin are greeted.
