Why is the glans bleeding?

The glans is an important part of the male reproductive organ. If there are certain problems with the glans, it will affect the quality of life of men. For example, if a man's glans often bleeds, it may be a symptom of balanitis. If you want to restore the glans to normal, you must seek treatment in time. In addition, as a relatively sensitive area, the glans is also prone to diseases such as leukoplakia, pearly penile papules, and proliferative erythema!

1. What is the cause of bleeding from the glans penis?

Bleeding from the glans is generally caused by inflammation of the glans due to phimosis or excessive foreskin. Bleeding is likely to occur after friction or sexual intercourse. Generally, in this case, it is best to undergo circumcision as soon as possible to completely prevent recurrence. At present, if the glans bleeding is severe, you can apply erythromycin ointment and Yunnan Baiyao to stop bleeding and promote the recovery of inflammation.

2. What diseases are the glans penis prone to?

1. White spots

The clinical manifestations are: white spots of various shapes may appear on the glans penis, some are completely white, some are whiter, painless and itchy, with a smooth surface and no other rashes, and the surrounding pigment is often darker than the normal skin color. There is no specific treatment for this disease, but it can often heal itself without treatment.

Since white spots on the glans penis are related to chronic irritation from the smegma, and white spots may become malignant, those with phimosis or excessive foreskin who have white spots on the glans penis should have circumcision as soon as possible.

2. Pearly Penile Papules

The clinical manifestations are: the rash is the size of a millet grain, similar in color to the surrounding skin, and is neither painful nor itchy. Although it has no effect on urination or sexual life, the psychological pressure is very high.

This disease is neither a tumor nor a sexually transmitted disease. Medical experts have confirmed through pathological sections that its structure is normal connective tissue hyperplasia. Medically, it is named pearly penile papules.

The cause of pearly penile papules is not yet clear, and the diagnosis mainly depends on the location and morphology of the rash. There is no specific treatment for this disease and no treatment is required. The most important thing for people suffering from this disease is to understand the disease and free themselves from fear and anxiety. This disease has no effect on the health and physiological functions of the penis.

3. Proliferative erythema

The clinical manifestations are: single or multiple erythema appear on the glans penis, which may be round, ring-shaped or irregular in shape, with clear boundaries, slightly higher and harder, and shiny surface. Sometimes there may be erosions, crusting, or papillary hyperplasia. The disease may remain unchanged for many years, or it may become cancerous.

The cause of proliferative erythema is unknown, but it mainly occurs in people with prepuce that is too long, so it is believed to be related to prepuce that is too long and smegma irritation. The author has performed circumcision on several patients with this disease, and the erythema disappeared spontaneously in several of them. Therefore, patients with this disease should undergo routine circumcision. There is currently no definitive opinion on the treatment of proliferative erythema. Some scholars advocate circumcision and close observation; some doctors advocate freezing or X-raying the lesions. In addition, this disease is also called erythematous hyperplasia or red hypertrophic disease. Patients who find erythema on the glans penis should not be afraid to seek medical treatment, but should go to the urology department of the hospital as soon as possible and undergo circumcision.

3. Notes

For men with foreskin that is too long, the excess foreskin must be pulled down to see the glans penis. If an adult's foreskin cannot be pulled down to reveal the glans penis, this is commonly known as phimosis and the patient needs to go to a regular hospital for a circumcision.

The area near the coronal sulcus of the glans is a place where dirt and grime accumulate. After urination, the residual urine will accumulate between the glans and the foreskin, causing the substances in the urine to precipitate, bacteria and fungi to multiply, and a large amount of urine scale to form and concentrate in the coronal sulcus. Generally speaking, urine scale should be cleaned once every one or two days to avoid inflammation. The glans penis and foreskin must be cleaned before sexual intercourse.

The glans penis is prone to infectious diseases. Such as fungal infection (candidiasis), genital warts, etc. The glans penis needs careful care.
