What to do if there is a lump under the glans

We know that the glans is a very important part. Once there is a problem with the glans, the patient will often develop various uncomfortable symptoms. Not only will the glans be itchy, but some of the glans will also have lumps under it. Some patients often feel very painful. The lumps under the glans need to be treated actively. How should the lumps under the glans be treated?

Pearly penile papulosis may be a physiological developmental variation, and is neither a tumor nor a sexually transmitted disease. Clinically, it manifests as white, skin-colored or light red papules that do not fuse with each other and are arranged in one or several rows along the coronal groove at the posterior edge of the glans penis. It is commonly known as "glans pearly scale". In medicine, it is named pearly penile papulosis. Medical experts have confirmed through pathological sections that its structure is normal connective tissue hyperplasia.

Penile pearly rash is a benign disease. Some people may disappear after a certain period of time, while others may remain unchanged for decades. Because pearly rash is non-contagious and not harmful to health, it does not need to be treated. However, in order to prevent the disease from getting worse, prevention and care are important. If it is caused by prepuce, treat prepuce as soon as possible; if it is caused by local secretion irritation, the penis and perineum should be washed frequently, and underwear should be changed frequently. If the patient with pearly rash requires treatment, the following treatment methods can be used:

(1) Laser therapy (hospital device treatment)

Advantages: Laser therapy: It is a high temperature therapy, the temperature can reach over 700℃. It mainly carbonizes the pearly tissue and forms scabs. After the scabs fall off, the wound surface is covered with new squamous epithelium. The treatment of pearly rash generally uses carbon dioxide laser, with a wavelength of 10.6μm infrared light. The preparation before treatment is the same as that of electric ironing. In addition to thermal effects, its advantages also include pressure, photochemical and electromagnetic field effects. Therefore, it has anti-inflammatory (stimulating the body to produce stronger defensive immune function), analgesic (reducing tissue edema and reducing chemical and mechanical stimulation to nerve endings) and tissue repair promotion (enhancing the synthesis and metabolism of epithelial cells, promoting epithelial proliferation, and accelerating wound repair). Therefore, the treatment time is short and the cure rate is high.

Disadvantages: The cost is high, and the imported laser equipment is expensive, so the price of removing pearly rash is also high and it is easy to relapse. After the operation, you need to change the dressing regularly to avoid infection until you are fully recovered.

Warm reminder: In fact, once the patient has granules under the glans, further treatment is needed. Not only laser treatment is needed. Cryotherapy is also possible. However, these are actually hospital equipment treatments and need to be treated in a large hospital.
