Meat grains on foreskin

Many men will have fleshy grains on their foreskin, which may be caused by infection, such as balanitis, pearly rash, etc., or it may be caused by infectious genital warts. Of course, no matter what the cause is, patients need to undergo active examination and treatment to avoid worsening of the condition and increasing difficulty in treatment. Here we will introduce the causes and solutions of the growth of meat grains on the foreskin.

1. Balanitis

Balanitis refers to inflammation of the inner lining of the foreskin and the glans penis. A lipid substance secreted in the normal foreskin cavity. When the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs, this substance can accumulate into smegma, which can irritate the foreskin and glans penis and cause balanitis. This disease can also be caused by bacterial, fungal infection or drug allergy.

Clean the foreskin and glans penis frequently to keep the foreskin cavity clean and dry. We should pay attention to developing good hygiene habits in our daily lives. Circumcision can have a good preventive effect on those with phimosis or foreskin that is too long. If the disease is discovered, the foreskin should be turned over and soaked in potassium permanganate solution to clean the affected area, and antibiotics should be used appropriately. It can usually be cured within a few days. If the disease is more serious, effective treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Pearl rash

Pearly rash, also known as penile pearly papules, coronal sulcus or glans papules, is also called hairy penis or multi-papillary penis by some scholars. Currently, most scholars believe that this is a normal physiological variation, so it will not affect health and will not be transmitted or spread through sexual intercourse.

The direct cause of this disease may be the patient's foreskin is too long, poor local hygiene, long-term stimulation from coronal sulcus secretions and dirt, or local redness and swelling and other inflammatory reactions caused by other factors such as infection. If the patient needs treatment, it can be treated through laser surgery, cryotherapy, and drug therapy.

3. Genital warts

Genital warts are a sexually transmitted disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, with proliferative lesions in the anal and genital area as the main manifestation. Most cases occur in young and middle-aged people aged 18 to 50. The disease occurs after an incubation period of about half a month to eight months, with an average of three months. This disease is relatively common and is mainly transmitted through sexual contact.

Genital warts are mainly transmitted through sexual contact. When one member of a family contracts a disease from society, the disease is passed on to the spouse through sexual intercourse and then to family members through close contact, which not only causes physical pain but also causes family discord. Therefore, improving sexual morality and avoiding extramarital sex are important aspects of preventing the occurrence of genital warts. Make sure sex partners get treatment as well.
