Symptoms of Lymphangitis of the Glans Penis
I have recently been experiencing some pain in the glans penis, and I am a bit worried it might be lymphangitis of the glans. I would like to ask the doctor: what are the symptoms of lymphangitis of the glans penis?
Doctor's answer (1)
Symptoms of lymphangitis of the glans penis mainly include the following:
1. Redness and swelling of the glans and foreskin: This is the most common symptom. Patients will notice obvious redness and swelling in the area of the glans and foreskin.
2. Pain: There will be a sensation of pain in the swollen areas, which may intensify during erection.
3. Hardening of the skin on the glans: Due to the inflammation, the skin of the glans and foreskin may become hardened.
4. Tenderness: Tenderness caused by inflammation may lead to significant pain in the glans or surrounding areas. Patients may avoid touching these areas to alleviate the pain.
5. Rash: A rash may be caused by viral or bacterial infection and can appear on the surface of the glans. It may present in various forms such as red spots or blisters and may be accompanied by itching or pain.
6. Difficulty urinating: Inflammation-induced urethral sphincter spasm or urinary tract obstruction can cause difficulty in urination or an inability to fully empty the bladder. In severe cases, dribbling urination may occur.
