Pseudoveneral ulcer

Pseudoveneral ulcer is one of the most common skin conditions that can occur in and around the genital area. This infection manifests itself in the form of an ulcerative lesion that occurs on the skin of the external genitalia, mucous membrane of the vagina, rectum, penis, and sometimes even in the oral cavity. Most often, peptic ulcer disease occurs in men.

The disease is transmitted through contact with semen, vaginal secretions or mucous membranes of the female genital organs, as well as through the use of someone else's underwear and towels that are contaminated with blood with ulcers. In addition, the disease can be transmitted during sex without a condom or poor personal hygiene after sexual contact with a sick person. However, like many other diseases, venereal ulcer disease can also occur as a result of a bacterial infection introduced to the genitals through microcracks on the surface of the skin.

One of the possible manifestations of peptic ulcer disease is the appearance of ulcerative lesions on the genitals, usually resulting from an increase in the content of estrogen in the blood. Other symptoms may include discomfort, fluid discharge, burning, itching. In some cases, other manifestations of skin infection may be added to the ulcers: redness, swelling, crusts, formation of purulent discharge, which greatly complicates the diagnostic process and masks the true disease under other skin diseases.

Symptoms of skin ulcers may vary depending on the location of the ulcer, its size, the depth of tissue damage, the patient’s hormonal background, and the level of immunity. Ulcers can appear on various parts of the genitals in both adults and children. The development of such infections in adolescents is associated with the spread of inflammatory processes and an increase in the amount of hormones.

A venereal peptic ulcer on the genitals requires constant medical monitoring and treatment, so if symptoms appear, you should immediately consult a specialist. Typically, antibiotics, local antiseptics, and solutions for rinsing mucous membranes are used to treat this disease. It is especially important to carry out regular infection prevention and promptly treat areas of contact with sick people during sports and the spread of infected fluids.

There are several forms of formation of genital ulcers. Most often, symptoms of single ulcers occur, less often - multiple ones. They differ in the type of tissue damage: either superficial cracks or deep depressions from erosions from the parenchyma in one of the areas of the genital organs (can affect the entire genital area). Large ulcers are deep and appear as depressions on the labia.

In addition, ulcerative lesions on the genitals can also cause complications in the form of bacterial infections, abscess formation and blood poisoning. To prevent such consequences, it is necessary to regularly carry out preventive measures and monitor your health.
