Penile cancer is a relatively rare malignant tumor of the male genitourinary system, which is quite common in China and accounts for the first place in male reproductive system tumors. Therefore, identifying its etiology is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of penis cancer.
What are the early symptoms of penis cancer?
1. Presence of pus, lumps, papules, etc
Patients with phimosis may have nodules or masses within the foreskin that gradually increase over time and can penetrate the foreskin, often with purulent or bloody secretions flowing out. In patients with valgus prepuce, papules, erythema, and ulcers appear at the lesion, and the lesion gradually increases with malodorous secretions.
2. Inguinal lymph node enlargement
Due to infection, patients with penile cancer often have unilateral or bilateral inguinal lymph node enlargement, and approximately 50% of patients with enlarged lymph nodes have pathologically proven lymph node metastasis. If not taken seriously, it can invade the entire penis and corpus cavernosum.
What are the causes of penis cancer?
Currently, the exact cause of penile cancer is unclear. However, it is mainly related to the following factors:
1. Excessive foreskin and phimosis
The theory of excessive foreskin, phimosis, and foreskin scaling is well recognized. Failure to pay attention to hygiene in daily life can lead to long-term inflammation of the foreskin and glans caused by foreskin scaling, which occurs repeatedly. This is an important cause of penile cancer.
2. Virus infection
Penile cancer may be associated with viral infection. Research has found that about a quarter to one-third of penile cancer is associated with human papillomavirus (HPV). When the penis is infected with a virus and cannot be cured for a long time, it is also a major cause of penis cancer.
Got penis cancer how to do?
One size fits all
Many men find it difficult to accept this because doing so will completely end their status as a man, but it is the best way to treat penile cancer.
Traditional Chinese medicine can only assist in treatment, and it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment in advance. If the lesion has affected most of the penis, only a total penis resection can be performed, in which the urethral opening is moved to the perineum.
Want to keep Ding Ding, how to prevent it?
1. Pay attention to hygiene
It is very important to pay attention to the hygiene of Ding Ding and regularly clean the foreskin dirt.
2. Prepuce and phimosis surgery
Since the inflammatory stimulation caused by foreskin scaling is closely related to the onset of penile cancer, then foreskin and phimosis surgery is very important.
If you have penile cancer, the patient should not be too alarmed, and need to straighten their mind and seek medical attention in a timely manner. Not all cancers are incurable, and active treatment and attention to life health are important.
