Balanitis is a balanitis caused by men's unhealthy life, which is usually caused by bacterial infection. Many people are worried about whether balanitis will infect others. Let's see what experts say!
What is the cause of balanitis?
1. Entamoeba infection: Most patients suffer from balanitis and local loss of normal barrier function, and then are caused by intestinal amoeba infection. Amoeba protozoa can be found by direct application of local erosion, ulcer, tissue necrosis and secretion.
2. Trichomoniasis infection: The spouse is infected with vaginal trichomoniasis. The symptoms are mild, mainly manifested as erythema, papule and small blisters on the glans. The boundary is clear, the scope is gradually expanded, and the patient often feels itchy. Trichomonas can be found in the secretion.
3. Candidal infection: Candida is a conditional pathogen. Candidal balanitis is also primary after treatment of diabetes, senile consumptive diseases, and a large number of antibiotics and hormones. Spouses have multiple cases of candidal vaginitis. There are reddish erosion and thin-walled pustules on the glans and coronal groove
4. Non-infective factors: including local trauma, friction, contraceptives, soap, detergent and other irritants. The local manifestations are puffy erythema, erosion, exudation and even bleeding. Secondary bacterial infection can suppurate and form ulcer surface. The patient has obvious pain and is unable to move. It is clinically known as acute superficial balanitis.
Can male balanitis infect?
First of all, men must know the symptoms of balanitis. According to experts, there are many reasons for foreskin balanitis, and the foreskin balanitis caused by pathogenic fungi can be infected.
Candida prepuce balanitis is a common and easily infectious balanitis. Most of them occur in young adults between the ages of 20 and 50. Because of the exuberant secretion of sebaceous glands, the moist vulva, and the wearing of thick underwear or the insufficient cleaning of vulva, it is very easy to cause the candida scattered in the air or parasitic here to take root and sprout, and cause a disaster, which may be passed on to the spouse.
Therefore, patients with candidal prepuce balanitis should actively go to the hospital for treatment, carry out Candida examination and culture, and cooperate with antifungal drugs and anti-allergic drugs, which can generally be cured.
