There is white discharge on the glans.

White discharge on the glans is usually a symptom of balanitis. When the glans is infected with bacteria, the dirt inside the glans increases, which stimulates the production of white discharge on the glans. If the white discharge is not cleaned, it will turn yellow. Men need to treat balanitis in time. You can learn about the causes of white discharge on the glans in this article.

Normal foreskin secretions

White discharge from the glans may be a normal discharge from the foreskin. The foreskin is located at the front of the penis and is a double layer of folded penis skin that covers the glans. If you flip the foreskin over, you can see a ring-shaped constriction behind the glans called the coronal sulcus. There are many sebaceous glands in the skin near the coronal sulcus, which secrete a smelly discharge that is yellow-white muddy and is called "smegma."

Balanitis: There are two reasons for balanitis. One is that if the foreskin is too long and the foreskin is phimosis, local hygiene is not paid attention to, so that urine, semen and other secretions remain in the foreskin cavity, forming white secretion-like smegma. Since smegma is very irritating, long-term irritation to the glans can easily lead to balanitis. Another reason may be that after unclean sex, trichomonas, candida albicans, fungi and other bacteria and viruses are infected, which can easily lead to balanitis.

Gonorrheal urethritis: Gonorrheal urethritis is one of the sexually transmitted diseases. It is mainly caused by infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae during unclean sex. Since gonococcal urethritis is highly contagious, the urethra, glans penis, and penis will feel itchy and painful at the beginning of the disease. The urethral opening will become red and swollen, and white secretions will flow out. Since gonorrhea is relatively special, the symptoms may disappear on their own, but the symptoms will worsen if they recur, and various complications will also occur. Therefore, you should not be careless after the symptoms appear, and you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible.

Non-gonococcal urethritis: Non-gonococcal urethritis is one of the sexually transmitted diseases. It is mainly caused by gonococci during unclean sex, as well as Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma. The symptoms of non-gonococcal urethritis and gonococcal urethritis are very similar, but the symptoms of non-gonococcal urethritis are milder than those of gonococcal urethritis. The incidence of non-gonococcal urethritis is higher than that of gonococcal urethritis. Unlike the symptoms of gonococcal urethritis, the urethra will feel itchy, and there will be difficulty in urination such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain. A small amount of sticky secretions will appear after not urinating for a long time or before the first urination in the morning.

In addition to the above diseases that can cause white discharge from the glans penis, there may also be prostatitis, genital herpes and other diseases that can cause white discharge in the later stages. You should go to a specialist hospital for a detailed examination and targeted treatment to determine which disease you have, so as to improve your condition in a short period of time.
