Inflammation of the prepuce

Inflammation of the prepuce often occurs in small boys. Such a state develops as a result of its poor "retreat". As a result, the foreskin and head stick together. Due to the lack of movement of the skin, under it are formed accumulations of the remains of urine and smegma (lubricant). Thus, excellent conditions for the development of pathological bacteria are formed, which provokes inflammation of the foreskin. Subcutaneous areas are very poorly liable to rinsing. This increases inflammation, contributes to difficulty in urinating. As a result, the cavity of the prepuce increases and begins to hang in the form of a proboscis.

In some cases, the head is not closed by the foreskin and is restrained. This causes a violation in the circulation of the penis, reddening of the head and foreskin, and then blueing. This disease in medical practice is called "phimosis". In the above-described course of the pathology, the deterioration of the child's state occurs quickly enough. Postponing a visit to a doctor is extremely dangerous in this case. The urologist, having opened a hole, will eliminate the adhesions and remove the accumulations of smegma. Then the doctor will treat the head of the penis with an antiseptic preparation, the ointment with an anti-inflammatory effect will be put behind the foreskin and will close it. If a lot of time has passed and a large edema has formed, an operation will be prescribed. Surgical intervention is not particularly difficult. However, its conduct is necessary, otherwise it will not restore blood circulation in the penis. With the timely access to a specialist, he can manually fix the head in a few seconds.

Inflammation of the prepuce (postitis) can occur in both children and adults. This pathology is quite common in urology. In many cases, the inflammation of the head and foreskin accompanies each other. Such a combined development of the disease in medical practice is called balanoposthitis.

The main factor contributing to the occurrence of pathology is considered insufficient or incorrect hygiene of the penis.

Inflammation of the prepuce is characterized by redness, discomfort during urination, and irritation of the skin. Due to the limited prepuce, purulent discharge accompanied by an unpleasant odor may be noted.

Postit and balanoposthitis are characterized by deterioration of health, increased temperature, weakness. At the first manifestations of the pathology, it is necessary to immediately contact the urologist. The specialist will not only perform an examination, but also prescribe tests, will put an accurate diagnosis. Inflammatory processes may be accompanied by an increase in lymph nodes in the inguinal region.

In addition to lack of hygiene of the genital organs, fungal, bacterial infections, as well as allergic reactions can cause pathology.

In the absence of timely and qualified treatment, the inflammatory processes of the head and foreskin of the penis can provoke the development of very serious complications. As a rule, wounded cases are formed in neglected cases. Frequent are the pain. Including in the process of walking.

To prevent the development of diseases can be through careful hygiene procedures. It is not necessary to apply soap or other means very often. This is due to the content of alkalis in them, under which the protective cover is washed away. It is enough to wash the body with warm water. To prevent recurrence of the development of pathology, sedentary baths with chamomile are often prescribed. This medicinal plant has natural antiseptic properties and helps to reduce inflammation.
