White stuff on the genitals

Many male friends will inadvertently notice that there are milky white masses on the glans of their penis, accompanied by a foul smell, and it will continue to itch over time. The white discharge on the penis of men is caused by long foreskin. If it is not cleaned immediately, it will cause a lot of bacteria to grow and cause balanitis.

In clinical medicine, common types of balanitis include the following:

1. Subacute atrophic balanitis is partially red at the onset, the skin of the male genitals is red and swollen, and the active glans penis feels hot and itchy. When the foreskin is opened, it can be seen that the foreskin and the glans penis are congested and eroded, with exudate and even bleeding. After secondary infection, small ulcers and milky white purulent secretions with a foul odor can be seen. If it rubs against underwear, it will be painful, and the patient often has trouble with activities. It may be accompanied by swelling and tenderness of the inguinal lymph nodes.

2. Annular rupture of phimosis and glansitis: Erythema can be seen on the glans penis and the foreskin is too long, which gradually expands and becomes ring-shaped, and may produce an atrophic ulcer surface.

3. Candida albicans balanitis: Erythema can be seen on the foreskin and glans penis, with a smooth surface and small blisters. The edges of the erythema are clear, and there are erosions and exudate in subacute onset.

4. Candidal balanoposthitis causes papules and erythema on the glans penis, which gradually expand and have clear edges. Small blisters the size of a needle tube can be seen on the erythema, and eventually an erosive surface is produced.

The white discharge from the glans penis is caused by the foreskin being too long. Because the foreskin is too long, it will metabolize some sebaceous glands, and the foreskin will make these sebaceous glands unable to be cleaned effectively, and gradually accumulate to produce urine scale, which sometimes continues to emit a pungent smell. The white mass on the glans penis is urine scale. If it is not cleaned in time, it will cause a lot of breeding bacteria and cause balanitis.

Long or excessive foreskin causes the foreskin to be constantly turned outward, which results in foreign bodies in the glans glans, producing urine scale, which is a breeding ground for bacteria. The residual urine and urine scale form a natural breeding ground for bacteria, which can irritate the glans glans and cause inflammation, called balanoposthitis, which causes the glans glans to swell and itch frequently. If the inflammation occurs at the urethral opening, it can cause the urethral opening to become narrow after recovery, leading to difficulty in urination.
