What is the white liquid flowing from the glans?

Men are always busy with their work, so they pay less attention to their physical and mental health. Therefore, if there are some conditions that are not very obvious, they will not pay attention to them. However, some men still pay attention to some problems. For example, some men have transparent liquid flowing from the glans of their penis. I don’t know what the reason is, so I want to understand it. I hope everyone can have a certain understanding of this problem.

It may be a symptom caused by glansitis.

1. Subacute atrophic glansitis

Edema, erythema, erosion, exudate and bleeding, and blisters may appear in severe cases. If secondary infection occurs, ulcers may occur, covered with purulent exudate. Active pain and tenderness. Some patients may have mild systemic symptoms, such as fatigue, drowsiness, low fever, and large inguinal lymph nodes.

2. Annular rupture of glans

It may be the initial mucosal damage of Reites disease, or it may be related to the long-term irritation of urine scale. The clinical symptoms are erythema on the glans penis, which gradually expands and becomes annular or multi-annular, and then shallow ulcers may occur. If secondary infection occurs, the symptoms may be aggravated and lose their annular characteristics.

3. Trichomonas balanoposthitis

Caused by infection with Trichomonas. Clinical symptoms are erythema, smooth surface, a small amount of scaling nearby, scattered papules or pustules around, and slowly expanding to the periphery. Acute symptoms may present with edematous erythema, erosion, and exudate.

4. Cytoplasmic balanitis

It is more common in middle-aged and elderly patients. The glans penis produces localized, infiltrative, dark red and dark brown patches with clear boundaries, smooth surface, many red spots or erosions, easy bleeding, and no ulcers. Histopathology has diagnostic value, and its characteristics are the infiltration of band-like inflammatory cells in the superficial dermis, mixed with many plasma cells.

5. Amoebic operative balanitis

When the glans penis becomes inflamed due to prepuce hyperplasia, the natural barrier function of the epithelial cells is lost, which can easily lead to amoeba infection. The clinical symptoms are glans penis erosion, shallow ulcers, significant tissue necrosis, and pain.

6. Biotitic and keratinizing pseudoepitheliomatous glansitis

The rash is invasive and hypertrophic, with hyperkeratosis in some areas, biotite crusts, and silvery color. The glans penis loses its normal elasticity and gradually shrinks.

7. Candidal balanitis

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. On the erythema, there are small blisters ranging in size from needles to millet grains. The blisters can expand and fuse together, and produce a slightly erosive surface.
