Why is there pain inside the glans?

The glans is a relatively private part of the male body, but clinically, many symptoms of male diseases are manifested in the glans. When the glans is abnormal, it will have a direct impact on the body and even affect the normal sexual life of men and women. When the glans hurts, it must be taken seriously, especially some disease factors. So what is the reason for the pain in the glans?

1. This may be balanoposthitis. Almost all patients have phimosis or prepuce that is too long. Between the glans and the long foreskin, a warm and moist bacterial culture medium is formed due to the shed epithelial cells, glandular secretions and smegma bacteria. Once bacteria enter, it can cause inflammation. In the early stage of balanoposthitis, the glans and foreskin surface are edematous and congested, the area around the urethra is red, and wounds and erosions appear. It can develop into superficial ulcers, with purulent secretions flowing out. The patient feels itching or burning sensation at the glans penis, followed by pain. After erosion, pus may flow and have a foul smell. In severe cases, there may also be fatigue, low-grade fever, enlarged and tender inguinal lymph nodes. The initial symptom of balanitis is dull pain in the glans penis.

2. Most male patients experience glans pain due to pathogen infection, which further leads to male diseases such as glansitis and prostatitis. Some patients with prostatitis only experience glans pain. Some male patients with phimosis experience glans sensitivity and glans pain one week after circumcision. This is the result of the glans being completely exposed. They can wear loose underwear appropriately and will be able to adapt in about a month.

3. It may also be due to fungal balanitis that causes the patient's glans pain. This situation is more common in young people. Due to the vigorous secretion of sebaceous glands and moist vulva in young people, coupled with wearing thicker underwear or insufficient cleaning of the vulva, it is very easy for fungi scattered in the air or parasitic here to take root and sprout, causing trouble and possibly being transmitted to the spouse.
