What causes the glans to turn white?

Including local trauma, friction, contraceptives, soap and detergents and other irritants, local manifestations may be edema erythema, erosion, exudation and even bleeding. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, it may become purulent and form an ulcer. The patient has obvious pain and difficulty in movement. Clinically, it is called acute superficial glansitis.

2. Candida infection:

Candida is a conditionally pathogenic fungus, so candidal glansitis often occurs secondary to diabetes, senile wasting diseases, and after large-scale antibiotic or hormone treatment. It can also be primary, mostly transmitted from the spouse's candidal vaginitis. The glans and coronal sulcus may have light red erosions and thin-walled abscesses, but Candida is often not found locally, which may be caused by local allergic reaction caused by Candida.

3. Amoeba infection:

Most patients first have balanoposthitis, which causes the local loss of normal barrier function, and then is caused by intestinal amoebiasis. Local erosion, ulceration, and tissue necrosis are obvious, and amoeba can be found in direct smears of secretions.

4. Trichomonas infection:

Most cases are caused by the partner suffering from vaginal trichomoniasis. The symptoms are mild, mainly manifested as erythematous papules and small blisters on the glans. The borders are clear and the scope gradually expands. The patient often feels itchy. Trichomonas can be found in the secretions.
