What's wrong with the foreskin being torn?

The male genital area needs special protection. If there is a problem with the genitals, it will not only make men very uncomfortable, but may also cause reproductive problems in men. Especially the foreskin area of ​​men is very prone to diseases such as inflammation, which can cause great harm to the male body. Some men find that their foreskin has split. So, what exactly is going on when there is a foreskin tear?

It may be fungal balanitis. Fungal balanitis is caused by fungal infection. Its clinical characteristics are that the foreskin and glans are very smooth, but often accompanied by cracks. Applying antifungal drugs topically to the lesions can have a therapeutic effect. There are the following types.

First, because your sexual partner has fungal vaginitis, you may be infected again after sexual intercourse. Therefore, it is recommended that their sexual partners also go to a regular hospital for a gynecological examination to determine whether they have vaginitis. Clinically, if a man has balanitis or a woman has vaginitis, both men and women should undergo relevant examinations and receive treatment together. Otherwise, if only one party receives treatment and no protective measures are taken during sexual intercourse, the virus may be cross-infected to the other party.

Second, the patient may have high blood sugar. Diabetic patients develop local skin lesions, and the exudate is richer in nutrients than that of normal people, which makes it easy for bacteria to grow, and the skin lesions are difficult to recover. Therefore, if a man suffers from recurrent balanitis and his sexual partner does not have vaginitis, it is necessary to consider whether the man has systemic diseases such as diabetes.

Third , it may be inflammation caused by excessive foreskin. If a man's foreskin is too long, the glans penis is not easily exposed, and the coronal sulcus and glans penis area are prone to accumulating dirt. If you do not pay attention to cleaning the external genitalia on a regular basis, bacteria will grow and produce smegma, which will irritate the local mucosa and cause inflammation. At this time, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to avoid retrograde inflammation and cause urethritis.
