Balanoposthitis – causes
In most cases, the nature of balanoposthitis
is contagious. The cause of inflammation of the glans penis
there may be non-specific microbial flora in the form of steptococci or
anaerobic cocci, as well as pathogens that
sexually transmitted (pale treponema, trichomonas, etc.).
Sometimes balanoposthitis can be caused by viruses (for example, a virus
human papillomas) or fungi (Candida).
Without the participation of an infectious agent, balanoposthitis rarely develops.
In this case, it may be allergic, toxic, etc.
There are predisposing factors that have a large
value for the development of balanoposthitis. First of all, it’s about
neglecting personal hygiene, diabetes,
chemical irritants (detergents, lubricants), phimosis,
pathological conditions that cause fluid retention in
the body (kidney disease, liver cirrhosis, cardiac
failure).
Balanoposthitis – Symptoms
Balanoposthitis begins acutely, with a burning sensation, itching and
discomfort in the glans penis, followed by
the development of edema and hyperemia (redness) of the foreskin. Head
the penis is covered with off-white bloom, sometimes –
small bulge eruptions.
If acute balanoposthitis is caused by non-specific infectious
agent, not treated, it will become chronic. Also balanoposthitis
has all the prerequisites to become chronic if available
severe concomitant diseases, as well as the presence of diseases
sexually transmitted diseases (trichomoniasis, genital herpes,
syphilis).
Chronic balanoposthitis is characterized by burning and pain in
the affected area, the cracking of the skin of the foreskin and the appearance
on it surface erosions and ulcers. Severe inflammation can
cause inguinal lymphadenitis. Over time due to scarring
the foreskin occurs phimosis, which exacerbates the flow
