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

It can be said that there are still many hidden health risks for male genitals, which are directly related to bad living habits. Failure to pay attention to hygiene, leading to the invasion of bacteria, or unclean sex life leading to viral infection, will cause some abnormal conditions on the genitals, especially the phenomenon of red spots on the glans, which is more common and should not be underestimated. So what is the reason for a red spot on the glans?

This situation is often caused by glansitis. Common causes of glansitis include infection from unclean sex, excessive foreskin, invasion of pathogenic microorganisms, poor local hygiene, etc. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, especially local cleanliness, regular life, light diet, drink plenty of water, avoid spicy and irritating food, go to a regular hospital for treatment in time, and cooperate with the treatment according to the doctor's instructions based on the examination results.

Glanitis can be caused by many factors, such as local physical stimulation (trauma, friction, contraceptive devices, detergents, urine, etc.), foreskin, phimosis, smegma stimulation, various infections (bacteria, fungi, amoeba, trichomonas, etc.) and drug allergy.

Common treatments for glansitis:

1. Treat the symptoms. Keep the area clean and avoid all kinds of stimulation. Those with prepuce that is too long should undergo circumcision.

2. Local treatment: For erosive exudation or purulent secretions, apply wet compresses with 1% ethacridine solution or 1:8000 potassium permanganate solution. For dryness and desquamation, apply glucocorticoid ointment.

3. Etiological treatment. Patients with clear etiology should be treated with corresponding drugs. For example, for candidal glansitis, topical nystatin cream, clotrimazole, econazole, miconazole cream, or oral antifungal drugs such as itraconazole, fluconazole, miconazole, and ketoconazole can be used. For trichomonal glansitis, metronidazole, tinidazole, and trichostatin can be used. For amebic glansitis, emetine, metronidazole, and tinidazole are given. If the spouse suffers from candidal vaginitis or trichomonal vaginitis at the same time, they must be treated at the same time.

I believe everyone knows what a red dot on the glans penis means. No matter what causes this phenomenon, it should not be taken lightly. After all, the genitals are a key part of the human body and will affect future sexual life and even fertility. It is still necessary to prepare for treatment as soon as possible.
