Why are there some small red bumps on the glans?

Many men sometimes find some small red bumps growing on the glans of their penis, which is very troublesome. They are in their private parts and are embarrassed to tell others, but they are also very uncomfortable. There are many reasons leading to this situation, such as unhealthy living habits, unhealthy sexual life, etc. Let's talk about why these small red bumps appear on the glans.

Balanitis is divided into balanitis and glansitis. Because they often occur at the same time, it is called penile balanitis. This inflammation can be infectious or non-infectious. Infectious balanitis is more common in clinical practice. Infectious balanitis is often caused by unclean sexual intercourse, infection with Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Gonorrhea or other bacteria; non-infectious factors are mostly due to excessive foreskin and insufficient cleaning. The unclean matter between the foreskin and the glans, that is, smegma, will accumulate, irritating the local foreskin and mucous membrane to cause inflammation.

Common clinical types of balanitis are as follows, and their symptoms are as follows: (1) Acute superficial balanitis is characterized by local redness at the onset, redness and swelling of the penis skin, and a burning and itching sensation at the glans. When the foreskin is turned back, the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans can be seen to be congested and eroded, with exudate and even bleeding. After secondary infection, small ulcers can be seen, with a foul-smelling milky white purulent discharge.

Secretion. If it rubs against underwear, it will be painful, and the patient often has difficulty in moving. It may be accompanied by enlargement and tenderness of the inguinal lymph nodes. (2) Annular erosive balanitis: Red spots can be seen on the glans and foreskin, which gradually expand and become ring-shaped, and may form superficial ulcers. (3) Candida albicans balanitis: Red spots can be seen on the foreskin and glans, with a smooth surface and small blisters. The edges of the red spots are clear, and there are erosions and exudates during acute attacks.

When you discover this type of disease, do not consciously avoid seeking medical treatment just because it is a problem with your private parts. This will only delay the disease and miss the best time for treatment. Pay more attention to personal hygiene in daily life, don't be sloppy, have moderate sex, eat healthily, and have a regular schedule. Only by doing these can you reduce the chance of illness and ensure your health.
