How to prevent and care for balanoposthitis? The sebaceous gland secretion of young male prepuce is often strong. If the external genitalia are not cleaned frequently or the prepuce is not turned up during cleaning, the secretion of the sebaceous gland of the prepuce will accumulate under the prepuce, forming smegma like bean curd dregs. Smegma is a good culturing agent for bacteria. If it is not cleared in time, it is easy to induce foreskin inflammation.
Men with balanoposthitis not only experience itching and burning sensation, but also redness and swelling on the glans; Furthermore, patients may experience itching and burning sensation.
Opening the foreskin can reveal congestion and erosion on the inner side of the foreskin, as well as the presence of exudate and even bleeding; Erythema can be seen on the glans, and in severe cases, small blisters the size of a needle can be seen on the erythema. The main reason is that because the foreskin is too long and is not clean enough, the unclean things between the foreskin and the glans penis (that is, smegma) will accumulate, stimulating local foreskin and mucosa inflammation.
Here, it is important to remind male friends to keep themselves clean in daily life and avoid sexual contact between men and women with unclean sexual organs. If one spouse suffers from genital diseases, sexual activity should be suspended and treated promptly. For example, if they suffer from trichomoniasis or Candida albicans infection, both spouses should be treated simultaneously.
Try to clean the accumulated layer of secretions between the glans and foreskin every day as much as possible. If the foreskin is too long and causes balanoposthitis, timely circumcision surgery should be performed.
