What causes redness and swelling of glans suture?

The glans is a part of the male sexual organ, but this part is easily infected by bacteria, especially men who have a promiscuous sex life. They are more susceptible to diseases. The redness and swelling of the glans seam is caused by being in a warm environment for a long time, causing skin allergies or eczema, and it can also be accompanied by burning pain. You must keep your underwear clean, don't wear clothes that are too tight, and control your sexual life. Here are the specific conditions.

Balanitis, also known as balanitis, refers to inflammation of the glans head caused by trauma, irritation or infection. Because balanitis often coexists with inflammation of the inner plate of the foreskin, balanitis and foreshitis are often collectively referred to as balanitis. The main clinical manifestations are local redness, swelling, erosion and ulcer formation. Balanitis can retrogradely infect the urinary system, causing cystitis, pyelonephritis, etc. In addition, if the inflammation is not cured for a long time, it can directly affect sexual life, leading to impotence, premature ejaculation and other phenomena. This disease tends to occur in summer and autumn, especially in young and middle-aged men, especially those with excessive foreskin or phimosis.

It is mainly seen in young and middle-aged people who are sexually active. The infecting bacteria are usually the same as those of the sexual partner's bacterial vaginosis. At the beginning of the disease, the local skin flushed, and the glans was consciously burning and itching. In the acute stage, when the foreskin is opened, edematous erythema, erosion, exudation and bleeding can be seen on the glans penis. In severe cases, blisters may appear. If secondary infection occurs, ulcers can form, covered with purulent exudate, and local pain and tenderness are obvious. Some patients may suffer from mild systemic symptoms, such as fatigue and weakness. In the chronic stage, only flaky redness or cracks like broken porcelain can be seen on the inner plate of the foreskin and the coronal sulcus.

(1) Keep the area clean, avoid various irritations, and clean the glans and foreskin every day.

(2) Avoid unclean sex and live a temporary life during treatment. If it is trichomonas or candida balanitis, the couple should be treated at the same time.

(3) Avoid using corticosteroids in the acute phase to avoid aggravating the infection. If the foreskin edema is severe, do not forcefully turn up the foreskin.

(4) When there are ulcers or erosions on the inner plate of the foreskin and glans, the dressing should be changed in time, twice a day.

(5) Eat less spicy food and avoid tobacco and alcohol.

For those with erosion, exudation or purulent secretions, use 1% ethacridine solution or 1:8000 potassium permanganate solution for wet compresses. For those who are dry and have scaling, apply glucocorticoid ointment externally. People with Candida infection can use sodium bicarbonate solution to clean the affected area and then apply imidazole ointment externally. For patients infected with trichomonas, rinse with 0.5% to 1% lactic acid solution or 0.5% acetic acid solution, and then apply anti-inflammatory ointment. Intermittent administration of moderately effective fluoride-free hormone ointment has a good effect on plasma cell balanitis.
