What disease is it that causes the growth of granules at the urethral opening of the glans penis?

The glans is a very important part of the male reproductive organ, and it is also a relatively sensitive part. Some men do not pay attention to personal hygiene, which can easily lead to diseases invading the glans and endangering men's health. It is a very common phenomenon for fleshy grains to grow at the urethral opening of the glans. Many men have experienced such symptoms. After this symptom occurs, it needs to be taken seriously and treated in time.

What is the disease of the fleshy grain growing on the urethral opening of the glans penis?

1. The bumps on the glans may be caused by glansitis or infectious sexually transmitted diseases. Condyloma acuminatum has similar symptoms. In the early stage, it is light pink or dirty red millet-sized growths, with shapes such as papules, nipples, cauliflowers, and cockscombs. They are tender in nature, slightly pointed at the top, painless or itchy, and gradually grow or increase in number.

2. The base of the tumor is slightly wide or has bands, there are particles on the surface, the surface is moist or bleeding, pus is often concentrated between the particles, and it emits a foul odor. Scratching may cause suppuration. It is best to go to a local hospital for a detailed examination to clarify the cause and treat it accordingly. You can go to a local informal hospital for examination and treatment.

What are the symptoms of 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.
