The edge of the glans penis is a little swollen and purple. What's going on?

The color of the male glans is normally rosy, but some men find that the edge of their glans is a little swollen and purple. The main reason for this is that they do not do a good job of hygiene or have erosive sex, which causes the glans to be infected by bacteria. Once there is a problem with the glans, there are many things to pay attention to. So what is the reason for the edge of the glans to be a little swollen and purple?

First, why is the edge of the glans penis a little swollen and purple? The purple glans penis may be related to inflammation, or it may be caused by poor blood circulation in the glans penis due to phimosis or certain blood diseases. The possibility of sexually transmitted diseases, certain chronic diseases, etc. cannot be ruled out. Please go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis as soon as possible to find out the specific problem.

Second, genital inflammation: The glans penis may be purple due to genital inflammation such as glans inflammation. When inflammation occurs in the glans penis, the glans penis will become congested and swollen under the stimulation of inflammation. Long-term congestion and edema and poor local blood circulation will cause the glans penis to turn purple. In addition to glans inflammation, other inflammations such as urethritis, cystitis, and prostatitis may also spread to the penis and cause symptoms of purple glans penis.

Third, sexually transmitted diseases: Another possible reason for the purple glans is a sexually transmitted disease. Most sexually transmitted diseases, such as genital herpes and condyloma acuminatum, occur on the penis. The pathogenic bacteria of sexually transmitted diseases multiply on the penis and irritate the penile tissue, causing redness, swelling and congestion of the glans, which in turn causes the glans to turn purple.

Fourth, foreskin incarceration: For men with excessively long foreskin or phimosis, if the foreskin opening is relatively narrow and the foreskin cannot be turned up, if it is forcibly turned up by hand or by external forces, the foreskin may be tightly stuck on the glans penis, forming foreskin incarceration, which makes the glans penis turn purple due to obstructed blood circulation. Foreskin incarceration will obstruct blood circulation in the penis. If measures are not taken in time, it will cause permanent necrosis of the penis, which is extremely harmful and requires special attention.

What's going on if the edge of the glans is a little swollen and purple? Under normal circumstances, the glans will not turn purple. If the glans turns purple, it must be a sign of some problems in the body. If male friends encounter this situation, don't be complacent. You must go to a andrology hospital for examination immediately and take treatment measures under the guidance of an andrologist, otherwise it may cause serious harm to your health.
