What is the cause of a hard lump on the penis?

Small bumps on the male genitals may be caused by genital warts. You must go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis, and early treatment to prevent the disease from continuing to develop. Genital warts are a highly contagious sexually transmitted disease, and are mostly caused by unclean sexual behavior. Therefore, this disease is mainly preventable, but it can be cured with timely treatment, so there is no need to worry too much.

Condyloma acuminatum: Also known as genital warts or venereal warts, the pathogen is human papillomavirus. This virus is a DNA virus with a high degree of host and tissue specificity. It only invades the skin and mucous membranes of the human body, not animals. The virus is inoculated in the skin and mucous membranes of local minor injuries, and after a certain incubation period, cauliflower-shaped and chicken-comb-shaped warts appear.

Pearly rash: Pearly rash, also known as pearly penile papules, coronal sulcus or glans papules, is also called hairy penis or multi-papillary penis by some scholars. Penile pearly rash is a benign disease. Some people may disappear after a certain period of time, while others may persist for decades without change.

The early symptoms of male genital warts are: small pink papules first grow on the genitals, which gradually increase in size and number. The surface is raised, and most of them are brittle and hard, with uneven wart-like growths. The shapes can be divided into: mushroom-shaped, cockscomb-shaped, cauliflower-shaped, and nipple-shaped.

The initial symptoms of condyloma acuminatum are that the surface of the warts appears red, dirty gray or normal skin color, and the area is moist. Some patients experience genital itching, pain or bleeding during sexual intercourse. Conscious or unconscious scratching may damage the warts, forming erosions, producing exudate and leading to secondary infection.

In short, small bumps on the glans may be symptoms of condyloma acuminatum, which must be taken seriously. It is best to have self-respect and self-love in normal times, so as to prevent this disease. In addition, men should pay more attention to personal hygiene, and regular exercise to strengthen their physical fitness is also a good preventive method. Only in this way can your family be harmonious.
