Why does the glans penis have a strange smell?

The condition of the glans penis can reveal whether a man has male problems, and can also understand the physical condition of a man. A normal glans penis has no odor. If there is a peculiar smell, it means there is inflammation. This is the same as the female vagina. If the vagina has a peculiar smell, it is likely to be vaginitis or other inflammation. Under normal circumstances, men may suffer from the following problems, so the glans penis will have a peculiar smell:

Tuberculosis rash

Clinical manifestations: small red bumps (papules) appear on the glans penis, which are painless and itchy and progress very slowly. Sometimes they rupture to form small round ulcers without pus, which can gradually heal with scarring. Sometimes they may be combined with skin tuberculosis rash, which manifests as multiple rashes on the limbs, back, head and neck, which are easily misdiagnosed as acne, folliculitis or cysts. The rashes come and go and can be absorbed by themselves, but each rash generally takes about 20-30 days to heal.

Condyloma acuminatum

It usually occurs 3 weeks to 8 months after sexual contact. The lesions are located on the glans penis, coronal sulcus, frenulum of prepuce, urethral opening, etc. They are soft nipple-like fleshy bumps that are grayish white, light yellow or pink in color and bleed easily when touched. They can be single or densely clustered, a bit like cauliflower. Treatment requires cryotherapy or laser therapy.

Fungal glansitis

It is caused by a fungus called Candida albicans and usually occurs in circumcised patients. The glans penis is shiny red with small pustules or papules on the surface.

Balanoposthitis

This is the most common glans foreskin disease. Almost all patients have phimosis or prepuce that is too long. Between the glans and the long foreskin, a warm and moist bacterial culture medium is formed due to the shedding of epithelial cells, glandular secretions and smegma bacteria. Once bacteria enter, they can cause inflammation.

If the patient has glans inflammation, the odor may be severe at first, but abscesses may occur in the later stage, and there may even be a burning sensation. If the condition becomes more serious, it may rot, which is quite scary. Therefore, if you find that the glans has a odor, the best treatment is to see a doctor. Buying medicine at random cannot fundamentally solve the problem.
