What skin diseases are there in the reproductive system? Seven common skin diseases of reproductive system
In the andrology clinic, many patients are diagnosed because of pruritus of penis, redness of prepuce and glans, pruritus of scrotum, genital herpes or papules found in genital organs. These conditions are mostly skin diseases of the reproductive system, rather than diseases of the reproductive system itself. Here is a brief introduction.
1、 Prepuce balanitis
The prepuce balanitis refers to the inflammation of the inner plate of the prepuce and the penis. A kind of lipid substance that is endocrine in the normal prepuce cavity. When the prepuce is too long or phimosis occurs, this kind of substance can accumulate into prepuce scale to stimulate the prepuce and penis and cause prepuce balanitis.
The prepuce balanitis is divided into prepuce balanitis and balanitis. It is called penis prepuce balanitis because it often occurs at the same time. This kind of inflammation can be infectious and non-infectious, and there are many infectious prepuce balanitis in clinic. The infectivity is mostly unclean sexual intercourse. The non-infective factors of Candida albicans, trichomonas, chlamydia, mycoplasma, diplococcus and other bacterial infections are mostly long foreskin, insufficient cleaning, and unclean things between foreskin and glans, that is, the accumulation of foreskin scale, which stimulates the inflammation of local foreskin and mucous membrane.
Male candidal prepuce balanitis is mainly caused by candidal vaginitis infection, penis itching, burning sensation, and red prepuce balanitis. The foreskin is too long and has a history of unclean sexual intercourse. The foreskin of the penis and the glans are slightly red. There are white cheese-like spots on the inner plate of the foreskin and the coronal groove of the glans. The glans has pinprick-sized reddish papules. Scaly erythema can be seen when the foreskin and scrotum are invaded. The accumulation of the navicular fossa includes frequent urination and pain in urination. There is burning sensation and itching in some parts. For patients with candida allergy, the penis itches and burns after several hours of unclean sexual intercourse, and the foreskin and glans are red. Occasionally, fulminant edematous prepuce balanitis may occur. The main manifestations are obvious edema and itching of the prepuce of the penis, and shallow ulcer. The prepuce balanitis caused by drug allergy is a delayed type of abnormal prepuce balanitis.
Prepuce balanitis is a common disease in men. In recent years, the number of adult patients with prepuce balanitis has increased significantly, which is related to people's open sexual attitudes, increased extramarital behavior and abuse of various detergents. Having dirty sex increases the chance of infection. In order not to infect sexually transmitted diseases, people often use external disinfectants and anti-inflammatory detergents to clean and disinfect the vulva. In order to thoroughly disinfect, some people repeatedly smear the detergent stock solution that is not diluted in a certain proportion on the penis foreskin and glans skin. In this way, the local skin will be red, swollen and exudate due to strong chemical stimulation, resulting in acute inflammation. Repeated episodes of acute inflammation due to improper treatment may eventually lead to chronic prepuce balanitis. Therefore, after such symptoms occur, you should seek medical advice immediately, pay attention to personal daily hygiene and avoid complications.
