What is the cause of the white spots on the glans?

Many male friends have found white spots on their glans, and they still feel panic and worry at this time. So what is the matter with the white spots on the glans? In fact, not all white spots are caused by pathological reasons, so don’t worry too much. The key is to undergo systematic examination and diagnosis to know your specific condition, so that you can take targeted prevention and treatment.

White spots of different shapes may appear on the glans, some are completely white, some are whiter, painless and itchy, with a smooth surface and no other rashes. The surrounding pigment is often darker than normal skin color. There is no specific treatment for this disease, but it can often heal itself without treatment. Since white spots on the glans are related to chronic irritation of smegma, and white spots may become malignant, those with phimosis or prepuce that are too long should have circumcision as soon as possible. As long as there is no unclean sexual behavior and no special discomfort, there is no need to go to the hospital, just keep the vulva clean at ordinary times.

The most common cause of white spots on the glans is infection caused by poor penile hygiene. The foreskin will produce a lot of smegma, which will reduce the cleanliness of the penis, so it will greatly increase the chance of white spots on the glans. Chemical substances such as detergents or soaps, as well as irritants such as wool, can also cause white spots on the glans.

White spots on the glans are typical symptoms of glansitis. Balanitis causes redness and swelling of the foreskin, burning pain, worsening pain during urination, and purulent discharge from the foreskin. Balanitis not only brings physical and mental pain to male friends, but if it is not cured for a long time, it can lead to secondary phimosis, urethral stenosis, anterior urethral stenosis, prostatitis, sexual dysfunction, male infertility, etc.

A large number of white spots on the glans penis are caused by penile pearly rash. Penile pearly rash is a physiological developmental variation of the human body. It is harmless to the human body and is not contagious. About 24% of adult men have penile pearly papules, which are commonly seen on the edge of the male glans penis. They are skin-colored, uniformly arranged, and are the size of millet grains. There is no inflammatory reaction and no subjective discomfort. It is a completely normal phenomenon and does not require treatment or panic. It is recommended to go to the urology department of the hospital for examination and treatment.

The health of male friends is still very vulnerable to threats and harm, especially the reproductive organs, which must be protected at all times. Whether it is a common skin disease or some inflammation, it needs to be treated correctly as soon as possible.
