What is the reason for the small red spot on the glans?

For men, the penis, glans penis, and testicles are all very important reproductive organs. No part of them can be harmed and should be given more protection in normal times. However, most men are relatively careless and therefore do not take special care of these reproductive organs, which can cause some serious reproductive system diseases. So, for men, what is the reason for the small red spots on the glans penis?

Small red spots on the glans are typical symptoms of balanitis, which refers to inflammation of the inner layer of the foreskin and the glans penis.

treatment

1. Keep the area clean to prevent secondary infection. Apply iodine-fluoride solution or anti-inflammatory ointment locally. Allergic balanitis requires oral anti-allergic drugs and topical cortisone ointment.

2. For exudate erosion, you can use 3% boric acid water or 0.1% levulinol wet compress.

3. Corticosteroid cream can be used for patients in the non-infectious subacute stage.

4. For chronic stage or dry desquamation, tetracycline cortisone ointment can be used.

5. If the infection is obvious, with fever and lymphadenopathy, systemic antibiotics such as cefuroxime or ofloxacin can be applied.

6. Circumcision: If the foreskin or foreskin is swollen and cannot be turned over for washing and drainage is not smooth, and the inflammation still cannot subside after general treatment, dorsal circumcision can be performed to facilitate drainage. Circumcision can be performed after the inflammation completely subsides.

Causes

The causes of this disease can be divided into two categories

1. Simple or non-infectious factors

In addition to physiological phimosis, glans inflammation changes may occur due to excessive foreskin, smegma stimulation after sexual maturity, or a few mechanical injury factors.

2. Infectious or communicable diseases

Balanitis is mainly caused by pathogenic microorganisms, among which bacterial and fungal infections are the most common.

If men want to prevent the disease of glans balanoposthitis, they should clean the penis and glans frequently to keep the foreskin dry and clean at all times. In addition, they should develop good hygiene habits in their lives. If the foreskin is too long, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible to prevent dirt from accumulating inside the foreskin.
