What is the cause of the white liquid flowing from the glans?

Because men are always busy with their careers, they pay less attention to their health. So generally, if there is something wrong, they won't pay attention to it unless it's obvious. But some men still notice some problems. For example, some men have white liquid coming out of their glans. I don't know what's going on, so I want to know more. I hope everyone can understand this issue.

It may be a symptom caused by glansitis.

1. Acute superficial galactitis

Edema, erythema, erosion, exudation and bleeding. In severe cases, blisters may appear. If secondary infection occurs, ulcers may form, covered with purulent exudate. There is spontaneous pain and tenderness. Some patients may have mild systemic symptoms, such as fatigue, weakness, low fever, enlarged inguinal lymph nodes, etc.

2. Annular ulcerative glansitis

It may be the early mucosal damage of Reites disease, or it may be related to the long-term stimulation of smegma. The clinical manifestation is erythema on the glans penis, which gradually expands and becomes annular or multi-ring-shaped, and may later form shallow ulcers. If secondary infection occurs, the symptoms may be aggravated and lose their annular characteristics.

3. Candidal balanitis

Caused by Candida infection. Clinical manifestations include erythema, smooth surface, slight desquamation around, scattered papules or pustules around, and slowly expanding to the surrounding area. Edema, erythema, erosion, and exudate may occur in the acute stage.

4. Cytoplasmic balanitis

It is more common in middle-aged patients. Localized, infiltrative, dark red-brown patches occur on the glans penis, with clear boundaries, smooth surface, many small red spots or erosions, easy bleeding, and no ulcers. Histopathology has diagnostic value, characterized by infiltration of band-like inflammatory cells in the superficial dermis, mixed with a large number of plasma cells.

5. Amoebic balanitis

When the foreskin and glans become inflamed, the barrier function of the epithelium is lost, making it easy for amoeba infection to occur. The clinical manifestations are glans erosion, shallow ulcers, obvious tissue necrosis, and pain.

6. Mica and keratomatous pseudoepitheliomatous glansitis

The rash is infiltrative and hypertrophic, with local hyperkeratosis and silvery white mica crusts. The glans penis loses its normal elasticity and gradually shrinks.

7. Trichomonas balanoposthitis

It is a mild, transient erosive glans inflammation caused by trichomonas infection. Initially, erythema and papules appear on the glans, with clear boundaries and gradually expanding in scope. On the erythema, there may be small blisters ranging from the size of a needle tip to a millet grain, which may expand and fuse with each other to form a mild erosive surface.

Through the above introduction, we know that when white liquid flows from the glans, it may be due to balanitis, so it should not be taken lightly. At the same time, if it is more serious, you must go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time, so as to ensure that your future life will be more fulfilling and happy.
