Why is the glans bigger than the penis?

The glans is an important part of the male reproductive organ. Men achieve orgasm by rubbing the glans. Because it is a very important part for men, people pay more attention to it. Some people will find that their glans is larger than their penis and are confused about this situation, thinking it is abnormal. In fact, it is not what people think. It is normal. Here I will explain what happens when the glans is larger than the penis.

It is normal for the glans to be larger than the penis. It varies from person to person. In normal times, you should pay attention to keeping the area clean and dry, avoid infection, get enough rest, avoid staying up late, fatigue and getting angry, eat a light diet, eat more fresh vegetables, and supplement vitamins.

Diseases that the glans penis is more likely to suffer from:

1. Condyloma acuminatum

It usually occurs 3 weeks to 8 months after sexual contact. The lesions are located on the glans penis, coronal sulcus, frenulum of prepuce, urethral opening, etc. They are soft nipple-like fleshy bumps that are grayish white, light yellow or pink in color and bleed easily when touched. They can be single or densely clustered, a bit like cauliflower. Treatment requires cryotherapy or laser therapy.

2. Contagious soft warts

It usually occurs 2-7 weeks after sexual contact, and appears as a hemispherical papule with a diameter of 3-6 mm, slightly concave in the center, like an umbilical pit. If the papule is squeezed, a white cheese-like substance can be squeezed out. Treatment can be done by scraping it off with a sharp curette, then applying iodine or carbolic acid, and applying pressure to stop bleeding; cryotherapy can also be used.

3. Fungal glansitis

It is caused by a fungus called Candida albicans. It usually occurs in patients who have undergone circumcision. The glans penis is shiny red with small pustules or papules on the surface. You can take clotrimazole or ketoconazole, and apply clotrimazole ointment to the affected area.

Nursing:

(1) Pay attention to local hygiene, clean the glans and foreskin every day. If the foreskin is too long, it should be treated in time, and circumcision should be performed if necessary. It is very necessary to clean the smegma in time. For those whose foreskin always covers the glans when the penis is not erect, they should exercise so that the glans is always exposed outside the foreskin. This is hygienic and less likely to cause glansitis. It can also exercise the glans's resistance to friction, reduce sensitivity, and effectively prevent premature ejaculation during sexual intercourse with women.

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

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

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

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

(6) Avoid promiscuity.
