The pros and cons of laser treatment for pseudohygroma

The human penis area is particularly prone to disease problems, such as bacterial infections during sexual intercourse. The most common sexual symptom may be pseudo-eczema, but this problem can be solved with laser treatment. Laser treatment of diseases has both advantages and disadvantages, and the magnitude of the advantages and disadvantages must be considered. Therefore, it varies from person to person, and the use of laser treatment also requires careful analysis. What are the pros and cons of laser treatment for pseudohygroma?

Hypospadias is a congenital malformation that sometimes occurs in several generations in a family. In patients with mild hypospadias, the urethra opens at the coronal sulcus of the penis, and the penis itself is not curved or is only slightly curved. It is often ignored by parents in childhood and does not affect sexual function when the patient grows up, so no treatment is required. In patients with severe hypospadias, the urethral opening may be at the junction of the penis and scrotum, or even in the perineum in some cases. The defective part of the urethra is replaced by a fibrous band, the penis is short and flat, and is obviously or severely bent downward, and sexual intercourse is impossible in adulthood. At the same time, since the urethra opening is located at the back, ejaculation occurs outside the vagina, making the woman infertile and requiring surgical correction.

The operation is generally performed in two stages. The first stage is best performed at around two years old, and its main purpose is to cut the cord and straighten the penis. The second stage is performed six months to one year after the first stage, after the local scar tissue has softened, and its main purpose is to perform urethroplasty. Once you grow up, the curvature of the penis is difficult to correct. Of course, there are also people in the medical community who advocate completing the two-stage operation in one go, that is, while removing the penile cord to straighten the bent penis, use a leather tube to make the bladder mucosa into a tube to replace the defective urethra.

Most patients with Peyronie's disease are middle-aged. The main symptoms are hyperplasia of penile connective tissue, with one or several hard plaques and cords on the dorsal side of the penis. When the penis is erect, it bends upward or to the left or right and is slightly painful. If the bending is obvious, it affects sexual life. The cause of this disease is not yet clear, but injury and inflammation may be triggering factors. Surgical removal of nodules is prone to recurrence, so it is not recommended. The general treatment is to inject cortisone locally at the nodules or cords, and take vitamin E orally. Penile histamine or iodine ion penetration can also be performed with the cooperation of the physical therapy department, but in general, the treatment effect is not ideal.

There are two situations that lead to penis curvature: one is curvature in the front-to-back direction; the other is curvature in the left-to-right direction. Regardless of the type of curvature, the factors are nothing more than three aspects: physiological, congenital, and pathological.

Physiological penis curvature generally has no effect on sexual life. Because penile erection is achieved by the engorgement of the corpus cavernosum, and the corpus cavernosum of the penis is not just one, but consists of three round, columnar corpora cavernosa. These three corpora cavernosa are like sponges, with many cavities inside that are connected to blood vessels. The two spongy bodies on the top of the penis are called the corpora cavernosa, and the one below is called the corpus spongiosum, through which the urethra passes. When the cavities within the corpus cavernosum become filled with blood, the penis becomes thicker and harder. If the three corpora cavernosa are equal in size after being filled with blood, the penis erection is normal; if the three corpora cavernosa are different in size after being filled with blood, the penis will bend in the direction with less blood. In fact, most men's penises are somewhat curved to varying degrees when erect.

However, in some men, penis curvature is caused by congenital abnormalities of the reproductive organs. For example, congenital hypospadias can cause the penis to bend ventrally, and even lead to dysplasia of the reproductive organs, causing obstacles to sexual life and fertility. There are many patients with congenital epispadias, and epispadias has a more serious impact on the penis than hypospadias. In patients with epispadias, the penis is short and bends dorsally during erection, which can make sexual intercourse difficult or impossible. At this time, you should go to the urology department of the hospital for examination and surgical correction.

Pathological penile curvature refers to the curvature of the penis caused by trauma or infection of the penis, resulting in local scarring; or due to excessive foreskin removal during circumcision surgery, resulting in excessive foreskin. For example, if you suffer from fibrous cavernitis, there will be one or more fibrous nodules on the dorsal side of the penis, which can cause penile curvature or even painful erections. Patients with improper circumcision can undergo surgical correction, and penile curvature caused by fibrous cavernosum can also be treated surgically.
