The penis, like no other organ of the male body is adapted for infection.
It has an unprotected mucous surface, is constantly wetted by urine, vaginal secretions, self-lubrication of the penis head. Microbes and viruses feel free in this environment and have the ability to infect infectious diseases.
Nevertheless, infections of the penis( except venereal) are primitive, monotonous and have common signs of morbidity. To put the correct diagnosis it is possible only in laboratory conditions.
Active way of life, excessive sweating, hard work make a person take a shower, but it's the shower( and especially the public) that is the site of seedlings of fungal diseases. From fungal infections, no one is immune, the fungus is accessible to all parts of the human body, including the genitals. The most common fungal infections of the penis are thrush( candidiasis) and herpes.
Thrush( urogenital candidiasis) can be detected by some external signs :
- the skin of the penis becomes thinner, cracking, and after sexual intercourse, reddish wipes appear on it;
- inguinal area undergoes continuous itching;
- with urination, there are strong painful sensations;
- for suspected candidiasis requires immediate contact with a doctor: only he can make a final diagnosis and prescribe the right treatment.
Herpes can be seen on the discharge of vesicles on the head and on the shaft of the penis .The vesicles burst, forming a crust covered with a network of bloody cracks. Herpes( like some other viral infections) is the cause of the emergence of a kandil - a neoplasm similar to a wart. Often kandilomy grow together, forming branched bunches. Herpes virus, unfortunately, completely remove from the human body is impossible.
Of course, this is not all fungal diseases, but only a small part of them, but even in this case it must always be remembered that the best treatment for the disease is its prevention.
Most diseases of the penis are asymptomatic, secretive. Identify them only at the microbiological level. And although these diseases are most often initiated by the usual( from the point of view of microbiology) streptococci or staphylococci, but it is better to be safe and the first time you find suspicions of infection, run to the doctor and already there make the final decision.

The same problems are caused by the maturation of the pearlescent glands, which give the head of the penis an uneven, jagged appearance, but this is also a normal condition of the genital organ.
One of the most terrible and dangerous diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, is syphilis. This insidious infection can bring its owner many problems, and not only with health. Syphilis destroys families and traumatizes the psyche, invisibly accompanying the patient all his life.
There is still papillomovirus infection on the penis. It looks like leathery formations resembling warts. Papillomovirus infection can have an intraepithelial, pointed or flat appearance.
