What is the reason for white spots on a man’s glans?

The glans is an important part of the male reproductive organ, and orgasm is achieved through the friction of the glans. Some men will find white spots on their glans. There are many reasons for this, which may be penile pearly rash, balanitis, etc. When this situation occurs, people are very worried, fearing that it will affect their sexual ability, so people need to pay more attention. Here we will explain what is going on when a man has white spots on his glans.

The small white spots on the foreskin are often caused by balanitis, which can be infectious or non-infectious. Infectious balanitis is more common clinically. If you find any uncomfortable symptoms such as small white spots on your foreskin, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination in time. Common causes of white spots on the glans penis include:

1. If there are white spots on the foreskin and glans without infection, it may be penile pearly rash. The lesions of penile pearly rash are small white, skin-colored or light red papules, which are translucent, shaped like small pearls, and have a smooth surface. It can be in the form of several tiny beads as big as a needle tip. It can also be in the form of silk or sharp hairs. This is normal and you need to pay attention to personal hygiene.

2. Urinary tract infection. Infectious balanitis is the most common clinical condition. Infectious ones are often caused by sexual intercourse, infection with Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Gonorrhea or other bacteria, or because the foreskin is too long and not cleaned well, the unclean matter between the foreskin and the glans, that is, smegma, will accumulate and stimulate local foreskin and mucosa to cause inflammation. There will be small white or red spots on the foreskin and glans.

3. In many cases, it is caused by the patient having unclean sexual intercourse or not paying attention to cleanliness and hygiene. Therefore, patients should go to a regular hospital for examination to confirm the cause of the disease. Most men who have small white spots on their foreskin have foreskin that is too long, which can easily cause balanitis. People with excessive foreskin generally require circumcision surgery, which can fundamentally eliminate the root cause of inflammation.

Care of the glans area:

(1) Pay attention to local hygiene, clean the glans penis and foreskin daily. If the foreskin is too long, timely treatment is required and circumcision is performed if necessary. It is also necessary to clean the smegma in time.

(2) Avoid unclean sexual intercourse and keep yourself clean.

(3) If one of the spouses suffers from a sexual organ disease, they should suspend sexual intercourse and seek timely treatment. For example, if the spouse suffers from a Trichomonas or Candida albicans infection, both spouses should receive treatment at the same time.

(4) For acute balanitis, avoid using corticosteroid ointments to prevent more serious infection.

(5) If ulcers or erosions form, change the dressing immediately, twice a day, to avoid uncomfortable irritation.
