Why is the glans turning white?

The glans is an important organ for men and also the most vulnerable part of the male body. Especially if men do not pay attention to hygiene in their daily lives, problems will often occur. Not only will they suffer from balanitis, but the glans may also turn white. In some cases, the whitening may occur partially, or most of the glans may turn white. Such situations mainly occur in the following situations.

Consider the possibility of leukoplakia on the glans. White spots of different shapes appear on the glans, some are completely white, some are whiter, painless and non-itchy, with a smooth surface and no other rashes. The surrounding pigment is often darker than normal skin color. Since leukoplakia on the glans is related to chronic irritation of smegma, and leukoplakia may deteriorate, circumcision should be performed as soon as possible if there is phimosis or prepuce is too long.

White spots on the glans are usually a symptom of balanitis, which is characterized by redness and swelling of the foreskin, burning pain, aggravation during urination, and purulent secretions flowing out of the foreskin. The most common reason for many men to have white spots on the glans is that they are infected by insufficient cleanliness of the penis. Because the foreskin of men will produce a lot of smegma, which greatly affects the cleanliness of the penis, it will increase the chance of white spots on the glans. Note that some chemicals in soaps and detergents in life can also cause white spots on the glans.

If the glans turns white, it is best to go to the hospital for examination. However, you should also pay attention to the hygiene of the genitals in normal times and clean the glans every day. Men with foreskin that is too long should pay more attention to this. We should also avoid unclean sex life in normal times, which can easily cause genital diseases.
