Balanitis that is red but not painful or itchy is mainly an early symptom of balanitis. At this time, the amount of bacteria infected on the glans is less and the condition has not yet flared up. If the patient does not receive timely treatment, streptococcus or mycoplasma infection will worsen, which will cause redness and itching of the glans foreskin. Therefore, when the glans is red but not painful or itchy, you should pay attention to the hygiene of the penis and then take anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment.
There are many causes, which can be caused by sexual life and excessive foreskin. It can be caused by infection with Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, fungi, Neisseria gonorrhoeae or other bacteria; or because the foreskin is too long and not cleaned enough, the unclean things between the foreskin and glans, that is, smegma, will accumulate, stimulating local inflammation of the foreskin and mucosa. It is recommended to go to the infectious disease department for a clear diagnosis and timely symptomatic treatment.
Don’t ignore the red spots on the glans that are not painful or itchy. This is likely to be an early symptom of balanitis. Due to the high incidence of balanitis, the initial symptoms are mild and sometimes good or bad, so it is easily ignored in daily life. Until it becomes serious, it has caused great harm to one's health, and it is also quite unfavorable for the radical cure of balanitis.
Clinically, infectious foreskin balanitis is the most common. Infectious foreskin balanitis often occurs due to unclean sexual behavior and is caused by Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Gonorrhoeae or other bacterial infections. Non-infectious factors are mostly due to the foreskin being too long and not clean enough. The unclean things between the foreskin and glans, that is, smegma, will accumulate, stimulating local inflammation of the foreskin and mucosa.
Balanitis caused by different causes has different treatments. Some irregular treatments cause male foreskin balanitis to recur, and the treatment cannot achieve the desired effect. Therefore, once most male friends find that they have balanoposthitis, they must go to a regular specialist hospital for treatment in time. Do not take anti-inflammatory drugs casually, let alone apply them with external medicines. What harm can balanitis cause?
1. Induce urinary system diseasesBalanitis can also easily cause ascending infections of the urinary system, which are more common in cystitis, nephritis, pyelonephritis, etc. Improper treatment in the acute phase can be life-threatening.
2. The reproductive system is affectedBalanitis can easily lead to inflammation of prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis, vas deferens and other organs. If they cannot be treated promptly and effectively, co-infection will cause great harm to reproductive health.
3. Cause female infertilityBecause the inflammatory secretions hidden in the foreskin enter the vagina together with semen during sexual intercourse, it reduces the quality of semen and destroys sperm and egg cells, leading to female infertility.
4. Lesions appear in balanitisBalanitis is a serious pathological injury. It not only destroys the normal physiological structure and appearance of the glans of the foreskin, but also seriously affects the quality of sexual life of couples.
How can we completely cure balanitis? The core of CRS light guide urinary infection treatment technology is a high-power megawave host and a control system with a monitoring box. It uses far greater power than internal microwaves and internal radiofrequency, uses a non-invasive way, and uses capacitive heating that does not touch the human body to treat urinary infections, breaking the shortcomings of traditional single therapies such as laser, freezing, applicators, and drugs that fail to cure urinary tract infections.
