What is the reason for white spots at the base of the glans?

The foreskin and glans are a very sensitive part of the male body, and at the same time they are also very fragile. Many male friends have found that their foreskin sometimes has bumps or white spots. Because we are not aware of the disease enough, the consequences are actually very serious. Pimples on the foreskin of men may be a symptom of balanitis, which requires attention.

Inflammation of the glans mucosa is called glansitis, which is often complicated by balanitis. There are many causes of glansitis in men, including infection by various pathogens, local irritation, etc. A lipid substance secreted in the normal foreskin cavity can accumulate into smegma to irritate the foreskin and glans penis and cause glansitis when the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs.

In the early stage of glansitis, the glans and foreskin surface can be seen to be edematous and congested, the area around the urethral opening becomes red and there are wounds and erosions, which may develop into superficial ulcers with purulent secretions flowing out. The patient will feel itching or burning sensation in the glans penis, followed by pain. After erosion, there may be pus discharge with a foul odor. These are common early symptoms of male glansitis.

Common clinical symptoms of phimosis are:

1. Pimples on the foreskin may be caused by balanitis, which is often related to the foreskin being too long, not paying attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia, masturbation or not paying attention to hygiene during sexual intercourse, etc. The main clinical symptoms are local redness, swelling, pain, itching, and in severe cases, skin rupture, white secretions, odor, etc.

2. Balanitis can be divided into infectious and non-infectious. The infectious one is often caused by infection with Candida albicans, Trichomonas or other bacteria, while the non-infectious one is caused by local irritation, smegma irritation, etc.

Balanitis is very harmful and needs to be detected and treated early:

1. Cause male sexual dysfunction: After suffering from balanitis, the sensitive nerves of the glans penis are damaged by inflammation, making men prone to premature ejaculation during sexual life, which in turn leads to impotence.

2. Causes male infertility: Because the inflammatory secretions hidden in the foreskin enter the vagina together with semen during sexual intercourse, it reduces the quality of semen and destroys sperm and egg cells, leading to infertility.

3. Cause inflammation of adjacent organs: Balanitis can easily lead to inflammation of prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis, vas deferens and other organs. If it is not treated effectively in time, combined infection will cause great harm to reproductive health.

Because glans inflammation can easily induce some urinary system diseases and easily endanger our reproductive system and health, we must pay attention to some early symptoms of male glans inflammation, detect it early and treat it early. We must also do a good job of cleaning and washing in normal times.
