Is there any relationship between balanitis and sexual dysfunction? Analysis of the relationship between balanitis and sexual dysfunction

If not treated properly, prepuce balanitis will lead to repeated attacks of prepuce inflammation, leading to repeated occurrence of small inflammatory cracks in the skin of prepuce mouth and inner plate. Therefore, many patients worry about whether it will affect their sexual function. Experts will introduce the relationship between balanitis and sexual dysfunction in detail.

The etiology of prepuce balanitis is related to long prepuce, stimulation of prepuce scale, local physical and chemical factors and various infections. In recent years, the number of adult patients with prepuce balanitis has increased significantly, which is related to people's open sexual concept, extramarital sexual behavior and abuse of various detergents. Unclean behavior increases the chance of various infections. In order to avoid sexually transmitted diseases, people use some external disinfectants and anti-inflammatory cleaners to clean and disinfect the vulva. In order to effectively disinfect, some people repeatedly smear the detergent stock solution that is not diluted in a certain proportion on the penis foreskin and glans skin. Local skin is strongly stimulated by chemicals, causing redness, swelling, exudation and acute inflammation. If acute inflammation occurs repeatedly and is not handled properly, it will eventually become chronic prepuce balanitis.

Male experts pointed out that chronic prepuce balanitis, after repeated attacks and repeated treatment, leads to different thickening of the inner plate of the prepuce, and the prepuce mouth is narrow, which can be divided into three categories according to the degree of prepuce mouth stenosis:

Mild: the foreskin can turn up to the coronal groove, but it is obviously the cord of the penis.

Moderate: foreskin opening is obviously narrow. The caliber is about 0.8~1.2cm, the edge is thick, and cannot be turned up to the coronary groove. The external orifice of the urethra is visible. Severe: the prepuce mouth is less than 0.8cm. Some of them are very small, so urination is obviously affected, the urine line is thin, and the urination time is prolonged. The prepuce mouth is often red and swollen, causing pain in urination. The inner plate of the prepuce and the glans skin adhere widely.

Chronic prepuce balanitis will have different degrees of influence on sexual function. In the early stage, it was mostly pain during sexual intercourse. After sexual intercourse, there were small cracks in the inner plate of prepuce and the skin of prepuce mouth, with slight swelling and pain. After external disinfectant and anti-inflammatory treatment, the inflammation subsided and the wound healed, but there was an obvious tendency of scarring. Such repeated results in hyperplasia, hypertrophy and scarring of the skin at the inner plate of the prepuce and the prepuce mouth. Because of scar contraction, the foreskin mouth is narrow. When the penis is erect, due to the backward pull and pressure of the glans, sexual dysfunction such as weak erection, premature ejaculation, and even weak erection can not complete the sexual intercourse process. This will further affect the patient's physical and mental health and marital relationship.
