What is the reason for the red spots and itching on the glans?

Nowadays, many men are particularly troubled by red spots and itching on the glans penis, which also seriously affects their sex life. Therefore, in order to cure this disease as soon as possible, many men want to know in detail what is going on when there are red spots and itching on the glans penis? In order for you to understand it as quickly as possible, take a look at the detailed introduction below.

Why is the glans itchy and about to peel and crack?

Male specialists pointed out that the itching of the glans penis, which seems to be peeling and cracking, may be caused by the discomfort of balanitis. Symptoms of balanitis include: redness, swelling and itching of the glans penis, small blisters or erosions of the glans penis, congestion and edema of the glans penis, burning pain of the glans penis, erythema and white spots of the glans penis, rupture of the foreskin with secretions, swelling and ulceration of the coronal sulcus, peeling of the glans penis, foul smell and discoloration of the penis. If these symptoms occur without other abnormal physical symptoms, it should be caused by balanitis.

Men should know the cause of glans inflammation

There are four reasons that cause glans inflammation:

1. Suffering from prepuce or phimosis

The glans penis of a person with prepuce is usually always wrapped in the foreskin and must be turned up by hand to be exposed; even with the help of hands, the foreskin of a person with phimosis cannot be turned up to expose the glans penis. In this case, smegma is more likely to accumulate in the foreskin and is difficult to remove. Therefore, it is not surprising that patients with prepuce or phimosis often suffer from balanitis. If you have prepuce or phimosis, you should go to the hospital for circumcision when the time is right.

2. Not paying attention to external genital hygiene

The sebaceous glands of the foreskin of young men often secrete more vigorously. If you do not pay attention to regular cleaning of the external genitalia, or do not turn the foreskin up when cleaning, the secretions of the sebaceous glands of the foreskin will accumulate under the foreskin, forming smegma like tofu dregs. Smegma is a good culture medium for bacteria, and it is easy to induce dermatitis if it is not removed in time.

3. Injury caused by masturbation

Young people have strong sexual desire and often masturbate. Sometimes masturbation is too rough, which can cause varying degrees of foreskin damage. Because of the high level of excitement during masturbation, the damage is relatively small and may not be noticed, but the wound on the foreskin is very susceptible to bacterial contamination, thus inducing balanitis.

4. Unclean sex life

During unclean sex, if a woman's vulva or vagina is infected with certain bacteria, it is very likely to be transmitted to men through sexual intercourse, causing infection of the male glans penis and causing glansitis.
