What's wrong with particles on the glans?
Expert introduction: Under normal circumstances, male genitalia (foreskin, penis, glans) are smooth and clean, without spots or foreign objects, without redness or swelling, and without pain or itching. Once suffering from reproductive urinary system diseases, the male genital (glans) will appear small particles and other symptoms.
Experts analyze the color and shape of small particles as follows:
1) Long white and pink small particles on the glans: Male glans appears with varying shapes of white and light pink small particles, which are not painful or itchy, and have a smooth appearance without other rashes, usually caused by penile pearl rash and phimosis; If there are small particles accompanied by symptoms of penile redness, swelling, and pain, purulent secretions may flow out of the foreskin opening, and local manifestations may include edematous erythema, erosion, exudation, and even bleeding. If secondary bacterial infections can suppurate and form an ulcerative surface, it is referred to as balanoposthitis.
2) Long red or deep red small particles on the glans: Male glans may have single or multiple red small particles, which can be circular, circular, or irregular in shape, with clear boundaries, slightly high and hard. Sometimes there may be erosion, scabbing, or papillary hyperplasia, commonly seen in genital warts; If accompanied by symptoms such as ulceration, pustules, or serous secretions, it is often indicative of syphilis. Erythema occurs, followed by multiple groups of red papules on the basis of the erythema, which feel hot and itchy. Soon, it can become small blisters, and a few days later, the blisters become purulent. After rupture, erosion can occur, which is called genital herpes.
Treating several common diseases that cause small particles to grow on the male glans.
Common symptoms (1): Phimosis of the foreskin. According to experts, phimosis is one of the reasons for small particles in the glans penis. Due to phimosis or being too long, the foreskin cannot be turned up, so this sebum accumulates in the gap between the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans penis. At the same time, urine will also infiltrate into this gap and react with the sebum, turning into smegma. The chronic stimulation of smegma is very easy to induce white granule symptoms, and there is foreign body sensation or hard lump in the local prepuce.
Common symptoms (2): balanoposthitis. Phimosis balanitis refers to inflammation of the inner plate of the foreskin and the glans penis. It can be caused by various pathogen infection, smegma stimulating prepuce and penis head. When men are infected with Candida, it often causes balanoposthitis, leading to symptoms such as long and small particles in the glans. It is often caused by the infection of a spouse with Candidal vaginitis or by unclean marital life.
Common symptoms (3): Condyloma acuminatum. Genital warts are a common sexually transmitted disease. Condyloma acuminatum mostly grows in the mucosa of the external genitalia or at the junction of the mucosa, but it can also grow around the anal edge, often caused by unclean couples' daily life. Infected with genital warts, initially pale red or dirty red miliary sized vegetations, with shapes such as papules, papillae, cauliflower, or chicken crowns, with particles on the surface, moist or bleeding on the surface, and often concentrated pus between particles, emitting a foul odor. Scratching can lead to secondary suppuration.
In summary, the causes of small particles on the male glans are many and varied, ranging from general inflammatory infections to sexually transmitted infections, posing significant risks. Therefore, if symptoms of small particles on the glans are found, it is necessary to seek timely examination and treatment at a reputable hospital.
