What is the cause of the red spot and bleeding on the glans penis?

The glans of men is a very critical part. In addition to the function of urination, it can also play an important role in reproduction. However, many men usually do not pay much attention to the care of the glans, and even wear underwear that is harmful to the genitals. In this way, the penis will have very serious problems. Some men will find red spots on their glans, and there are also symptoms of bleeding. This means that they have balanoposthitis.

Treatment of balanitis:

For balanitis, you can use 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution to soak and apply anti-inflammatory ointment. If the foreskin or foreskin is swollen and cannot be turned over for soaking and drainage is not smooth, and the inflammation still cannot subside after general treatment, dorsal circumcision can be performed to facilitate drainage. Wait until the inflammation completely subsides before circumcision.

1. Remove irritants.

2. When erosion and exudation occur, apply wet compress with 3% boric acid solution or 0.05% berberine solution.

3. Anti-infection treatment: using antifungal, anti-trichomoniasis and other drugs for different pathogens.

4. For those caused by allergic factors, apply topical corticosteroid preparations.

(1) Acute superficial glansitis: It is usually caused by friction from underwear, trauma, or local irritation from soap or detergent. It manifests as edema, erythema, exudation, erosion, secondary infection with purulent secretions, easy formation of ulcers, and spontaneous pain.

(2) Erosive glansitis: The glans and prepuce inflammation and damage are ring-shaped, or the ring has cheese-like smegma, which is easy to break into superficial ulcers over time. If the ring-shaped characteristics are lost, it is difficult to distinguish from superficial glansitis. This disease can exist alone or as a mucosal symptom of Reiter syndrome.

(3) Cellular glansitis: It is more common in middle-aged people. It is a chronic inflammation with single or multiple patches that last for a long time. The damage is plaque-like, with a smooth or scaly or moist surface and obvious infiltration. The boundary is clear and not easy to break. Small spots like chili powder can be seen on the surface. The appearance is difficult to distinguish from proliferative erythema of the glans.

(4) Maternal and keratotic pseudoepitheliomatous glansitis: The glans is damaged, infiltrated and hypertrophic, with hyperkeratosis and mica-like crusts. The affected area loses its normal elasticity and atrophies over time. Histopathology shows hyperkeratosis, hypertrophy of the spinous layer, and elongated epidermal processes showing pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia.

For patients with balanoposthitis, the principle of diet is to eat a light diet and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Many irritating foods such as mustard must not be eaten. Many men have bad habits of smoking and drinking, which must be changed in time in the future to ensure a regular life.
