What is the cause of the lumps in the perineum?

Many people suffer from lumps in the perineum. There are many reasons for this. It may be because people do not pay enough attention to hygiene, resulting in fungal infection, or it may be infected by sexual partners during sexual intercourse. When faced with the situation of perineal lump, people need to understand its causes in detail and then prescribe the right medicine for treatment. The following is a detailed introduction to what perineal lump is.

This symptom is probably caused by fungal infection. For treatment, it is recommended to use ketoconazole ointment or sulfur ointment for local application. Develop good living habits, eat a light diet, and pay attention to personal hygiene.

If your wife suffers from candidal vaginitis, it is very likely to be transmitted to your sexual partner during sexual intercourse. However, you are also likely to have balanitis, which is mainly due to a chronic inflammatory reaction caused by excessive foreskin or phimosis. There will be local itching, or it may be scrotal eczema. The specific cause cannot be determined based on the itching alone. During this period, you should pay attention to observation and adjust your diet. Do not eat spicy food, avoid smoking and drinking. If the foreskin is indeed too long, go to the hospital for a circumcision.

Care methods:

Monthly

1. Change sanitary napkins frequently and wash the vulva with warm water twice a day.

2. If you cannot take a shower, wash in a basin. Each person should use one basin, one towel and one basin of water. The private parts and feet should be washed separately.

3. Don’t take cold showers.

4. Don’t take a sitz bath.

Pregnancy

1. Due to pregnancy, the amount of vaginal discharge increases, which makes it particularly susceptible to infection by bacteria. Wash with warm water twice a day.

2. Change your underwear every day, wash it and dry it in the sun.

3. Do not clean the vagina without the doctor's instructions. If you have unusual vaginal discharge (large amount and bad odor), you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

Postpartum

1. Bathing should be done 3 days after delivery in summer and one week after delivery in winter, once a day or slightly less than normal.

2. It is best to shower with warm water.

3. Never take a sitz bath.

4. If the lochia is heavy and has an odor, seek medical attention immediately.

Itch

1. Wash the vulva with warm water twice a day.

2. Apply antipruritic agent to the vulva after washing.

3. Go to the hospital immediately to find out the cause of the disease.

Daily life

Clean at appropriate times.

If conditions permit, it is advisable to wipe the front and back vulva with a special bath towel before going to bed every night. Note that you should wash the front vulva first, then the back vulva and the anus.

Avoid washing from the back to the front to prevent residual pathogens and microorganisms from invading the reproductive and urethral opening.

Wipe urine and stool

After urinating or defecating, the remaining feces should be wiped from the area around the anus to the crevice of the buttocks. After each wiping, it is advisable to stack multiple layers of clean paper and continue wiping in the original direction several times. This can avoid the problem of bringing feces to the vulva or not wiping it clean.

If you wipe in the opposite direction, that is, from the anus to the perineum, the residual feces may be brought to the perineum and the reproductive or urinary tract opening in front of it, which may easily cause corresponding infection.

Cleaning after sex

According to special surveys conducted at home and abroad in recent years, up to 80% of women suffering from acute and chronic vaginitis, cervicitis and other diseases are infected by the smegma and foreskin of the male partner.

Therefore, washing your lower body before sexual intercourse is not only good for you, but also for your lover.

Loose underwear

Wearing small triangle underwear less often will cover your lower body tightly, which is fashionable but bad for your health.

It is advisable to wear loose, soft cotton underwear with larger trouser legs and easy to breathe.
