Why do rice-like bumps grow on the glans?

For men, they should protect their reproductive organs, not only for their own health, but also for the happiness of their family and the health of their wives. If the genitals are infected, they may be transmitted to their wives during sexual intercourse, leading to cross-infection. Some men find that there are many small bumps on their glans when they clean it. Why is this?

The rice-sized bumps on the glans are mostly penile pearly rash.

Hirsuties papillaris genitalis, also known as penile pearly papules, coronal sulcus or glans papules, is also called hairy penis or multi-papillary penis by some scholars. Currently, most scholars believe that this is a normal physiological variation, so it will not affect health and will not be infected or spread through sexual intercourse.

The cause and incidence of penile pearly eruption are still unclear. Some scholars believe that this disease is a kind of abnormal physiological development. Some scholars believe that it is related to prepuce. Surveys have found that the incidence of penile pearly eruption in young men with prepuce is significantly higher than that in men with normal prepuce. Some scholars believe that this disease may be related to HPV infection, but Ferenczy et al. and Zhang Kaijin et al. tested HPV in the lesion tissue and found no HPV. The author observed that the direct cause of this disease may be inflammatory reactions such as local redness and swelling caused by prepuce, poor local hygiene, long-term stimulation of coronal sulcus secretions and dirt, or other factors such as infection.

treatment

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 not contagious and does not harm 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, it should be treated as soon as possible.

If patients with pearly rash require treatment, the following treatment methods can be used:

1. Laser therapy

Advantages: Laser therapy is a high-temperature treatment, and the temperature can reach over 700°C. It mainly carbonizes and scabs the pearly rash tissue. After the scab falls off, the wound is covered with new squamous epithelium. The treatment of pearly rash generally uses a 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 the thermal effect, its advantages also include pressure, photochemical and electromagnetic field effects. Therefore, it has anti-inflammatory (stimulating the body to produce a stronger defense immune function), analgesic (reducing tissue edema, reducing chemical and mechanical stimulation to nerve endings) and promoting tissue repair (enhancing the synthesis and metabolism of epithelial cells, promoting epithelial hyperplasia, and accelerating wound repair), so 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.

2. Cryotherapy

Advantages: Cryotherapy is a kind of ultra-low temperature treatment. The cooling source is liquid nitrogen, and the temperature is -196℃. During treatment, choose the appropriate probe according to the condition of pearly rash. To improve the efficacy, the freeze-thaw-freeze method can be used, that is, freeze for 1 minute, warm for 3 minutes, and freeze again for 1 minute. Its advantage is that it is simple to operate.

Disadvantages: Liquid nitrogen sprays out gas, and the area is difficult to control. It is easy to cause blisters, infection, and scarring after freezing. It is not as well-known as laser therapy.

3. Drug treatment

Advantages: It acts on the necrosis and shedding of pearly rash, the process is easy, and because it is for external use, there are no side effects and it is not easy to recur.

Disadvantages: The treatment time is relatively long, needing 5-10 days, and the place where the medicine is applied cannot be exposed to water for 24 hours, otherwise it will affect the effect.

Men should take part in more physical exercise, and do not fish for two days and then hang out for three days. Instead, they should exercise every day. Such daily exercise can enhance the health of reproductive organs and relax your mood. Running for half an hour every day can make your life more regular, which is conducive to the prevention of penile pearl rash.
