Why is the glans penis black and purple?

As we all know, men have a lot of stress in their daily lives. They must pay attention to all aspects of their daily lives, especially the key organs of the human body. The glans penis is more likely to be abnormal. Many people go to the hospital because the glans penis has changed color and turned black. So what are the consequences of the glans penis turning black? Let's take a look below!

What causes the glans to turn purple?

The purple glans is largely caused by balanitis.

Balanitis refers to inflammation of the inner layer of the foreskin and the glans penis. A lipid substance secreted in the normal foreskin cavity can accumulate into urine scale when the foreskin is long or too long, irritating the foreskin and the glans penis to cause balanitis. The disease can also be caused by bacteria, bacterial infection or drug allergy.

Causes of balanitis

1. Simple or non-infectious factors

In addition to physiological foreskin, long foreskin, urine scale irritation after estrus or very few mechanical damage factors may cause glans inflammatory changes.

2. Infectious or communicable diseases

Balanitis caused by microorganisms as the core factor, among which bacterial infection and candidal infection are the most common.

What to do if the glans penis becomes purple and inflamed

1. Keep the area clean to prevent secondary infection. The area can be wiped with iodine-fluoride solution or anti-inflammatory ointment. Allergic balanitis requires oral anti-allergic drugs and external application of cortisone cream.

2. If the exudate is erosive, you can apply 3% boric acid water or 0.1% levulinol on your face.

3. Non-infectious subacute symptoms can use corticosteroid cream.

4. In the chronic stage or dry and flaky skin, you can use tetracycline sponge ointment.

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

6. Circumcision: If the foreskin is too long or the penis is edematous and cannot be rotated and soaked, and the drainage method is not smooth, and the inflammation still cannot be eliminated after general treatment, a dorsal incision of the foreskin can be performed to facilitate the drainage method. Circumcision can be performed again after the inflammation completely disappears.
