After men suffer from phimosis, they usually experience redness, swelling, and discomfort, and they especially want to scratch with their hands. This is an unhealthy phenomenon. Men with phimosis may affect their sexual function, and itching of the foreskin should also be taken seriously because it poses a greater threat to the body. Men can use antibiotics and anti-inflammatory methods for treatment to get rid of phimosis as soon as possible.
The hazards of phimosis
1. Harmful to reproductive system health, balanoposthitis can easily lead to prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis, and inflammation of organs such as the vas deferens. If not treated promptly and effectively, co infection can cause significant harm to reproductive health.
2. Causing urinary system diseases, balanoposthitis can also easily lead to ascending infections of the urinary system, generally seen in cystitis, nephritis, pyelonephritis, etc. Especially for chronic balanitis that cannot be cured for a long time, it is most likely to lead to urinary system diseases. Improper treatment during the acute phase can be life-threatening.
3. It can lead to sexual dysfunction. During the inflammation period of the foreskin and glans penis, the sensory nerves in the glans penis are in a sensitive period. In addition, the damage caused by inflammation makes premature ejaculation easy during sexual activity, which can lead to erectile dysfunction in the long run. Moreover, the thickened narrow ring formed by phimosis and adhesion of the foreskin can lead to erectile dysfunction (impotence) caused by backward pulling and compression during penile erection.
4. It can lead to male infertility due to the long-term stimulation of inflammatory factors on the regulation of sperm and sexual response in the reproductive system, as well as the inflammatory secretions hidden in the foreskin entering the vagina together with semen during sexual intercourse, reducing semen quality and damaging the ova, resulting in male infertility.
5. Causing dry occlusive balanitis, dry balanoposthitis is a more serious pathological damage of balanoposthitis, which destroys the physiological structure of the foreskin and glans, affects sexual life and aesthetics, and is also a common factor in premature ejaculation.
Phimosis treatment
1. If the disease is discovered, flip the foreskin over the affected area and soak it in a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for cleaning, then apply antibiotic ointment and take antibiotics orally appropriately. It can be cured within a few days. If the condition is severe, effective treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
2. Antiallergic drugs should be taken for balanoposthitis caused by drug allergies, and corresponding treatment should be given for infections with clear causes. For example, 1-3% clotrimazole or ketoconazole cream can be used locally for candidal balanoposthitis, and metronidazole can be taken orally for vaginal trichomonas infections.
