What Is a Penile Yeast Infection?

The penis is an important reproductive organ for men. It is a common outlet for urine and semen. Penile foreskin is suitable for bacterial growth, so men will suffer from penile inflammation, cause poor urination, and even affect sexual life and fertility. The damage of penile inflammation mainly occurs at the junction and lacing of the edge of the glans and the coronary groove, rather than the entire penis.

Penile inflammation

The penis is important for men

Penile inflammation manifests as swelling, pain, and itching of the head and foreskin of the penis. Penile inflammation is more common in men around 20-30 years of age. Damage occurred mainly at the border of the glans and the coronal groove and / or at the lacing. The lesions are pimples of 1-3mm in size, and the damage is greater on both sides of the lace. The top of the pimples is round and smooth, and some pimples are hairy or filamentous. The pimples are often not fused with each other, and are densely arranged in one or more rows, which are obvious on the dorsal side of the glans, and can partially or completely surround the glans. The color of the damage is mostly pearly white, a few are light red and skin color, and some may be slightly red and swollen. No tenderness, no ulceration, and no patient symptoms. Histopathological examination of penile inflammation showed hyperkeratosis, mild and moderate hyperplasia of the epidermis, normal basal layer, collagen fibers in the dermis were slightly proliferated and dense, dermal papillary capillaries proliferated and expanded to varying degrees, and a small amount of lymphocyte infiltration was surrounding No concave cells.

The acetic acid test was positive, and histopathological examination revealed concave cells.

Inflammation of the penis is a benign condition. Some people can resolve after a certain period of time, and some people can remain unchanged for decades. Because the condition is not contagious and does not interfere with health, no treatment is required. However, in order to prevent the disease from getting worse, patients should pay attention to local cleaning and hygiene, and it is very important to maintain a dry environment. If the patient requires treatment, laser therapy, cryotherapy, or externally applied corrosive drugs can be used to remove it, but it must be remembered to avoid excessive injury caused by scarring and causing patient suffering. "Red Light Penetration Therapy" is based on the selective absorption of specific wavelengths of light energy by human normal tissues and diseased tissues. Infrared light radiation is applied to local diseased tissues, causing them to absorb and produce thermally cured mucosal effects and biological radiation. Resonance absorption effect and microcirculation effect to promote the metabolism of local tissues, enhance the body's biological immune function, increase cell vitality, accelerate the regeneration of damaged nerves, at the same time improve the phagocytosis of white blood cells, improve the nutritional status of local tissues, and for normal tissues There are no side effects, thereby achieving the goal of thorough treatment of inflammation.

Patients should choose a regular medical institution for examination and treatment, and do not delay the optimal timing of treatment.

The prognosis is generally good.

Patients with penile inflammation should pay attention to the diet, do not eat spicy and irritating food, you can drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables.
