Small red bumps on the glans penis after sex

The male penis is very susceptible to bacterial and viral infections. Sometimes, you will find some small red bumps on the glans after sexual intercourse, and there is no pain or itching. Papules, pseudowarts, leukoplakia, etc. all have such symptoms. Therefore, patients should not think that it is okay if they don’t feel anything. They should go to a regular hospital for an examination first to determine what disease it is before treatment. At the same time, it will not affect the health of the penis and the health of your other half is also guaranteed.

What diseases are the symptoms of the small red bumps on the glans after sexual intercourse?

1) Pearly Penile Papules

In outpatient clinics, young men often come to see doctors because of a row or several pinpoint-sized bead-like papules on their glans. They are worried, some are worried about tumors, and some are afraid of STDs. In sexual medicine consultation letters, many inquire about this disease, and they describe it very specifically: the rash is the size of a millet grain, similar in color to the surrounding skin, and is not painful or itchy. Although it has no effect on urination or sexual life, it causes great psychological pressure.

In fact, this disease is neither a tumor nor a sexually transmitted disease. Medical experts have confirmed through pathological sections that its structure is normal connective tissue hyperplasia. In medicine, it is named pearly penile papulosis.

The cause of pearly penile papulosis is not yet clear, and the diagnosis mainly depends on the location and shape of the rash. There is no specific treatment for this disease, and it does not require treatment. The most important thing for people with this disease is to understand the disease and get rid of fear and worry. This disease has no effect on health and the physiological function of the penis.

2) White spots

White spots of different shapes may appear on the glans, some are completely white, some are whiter, painless and itchy, with a smooth surface and no other rashes. The surrounding pigment is often darker than normal skin color. There is no specific treatment for this disease, but it can often heal itself without treatment.

Since white spots on the glans penis are related to chronic irritation from smegma, and white spots may deteriorate, those with phimosis or prepuce that is too long and have white spots on the glans penis should undergo circumcision as soon as possible.

3) Proliferative erythema

Symptoms include single or multiple erythema on the glans penis, which may be round, annular or irregular in shape, with clear borders, slightly raised and hard, and shiny on the surface. Sometimes there may be erosion, crusting or papillary hyperplasia. The disease may remain unchanged for many years, or it may become cancerous.

The cause of erythema proliferatum is unknown, but it mainly occurs in people with prepuce that is too long, so it is believed to be related to the prepuce being too long and the smegma irritation. The author has performed circumcision on several patients with this disease, and the erythema disappeared naturally in several of them. Therefore, patients with this disease should have their prepuce removed routinely. There is no definite opinion on the treatment of erythema proliferatum. Some scholars advocate forcise the prepuce and close observation; some doctors advocate freezing or irradiating the lesion with X-rays.

Clinical manifestations of pearly penile papulosis:

Pearly penile papules are more common in men around 20 to 40 years old. The lesions mainly occur at the junction of the edge of the glans penis and the coronal sulcus and/or the frenulum. It manifests as papules of 1 to 3 mm in size, with greater damage on both sides of the frenulum. The top of the papules is round and smooth, and some papules are hairy or thread-like. The papules do not fuse with each other, and are mostly densely arranged in one or more rows. They are obvious on the dorsal side of the glans penis and may partially or completely surround the glans penis. The color is mostly pearly white, a few are light red or skin-colored, and some may appear mildly red and swollen. There is no pain, no rupture, and the patient has no obvious subjective symptoms.

Men’s penis care needs attention:

1. Don’t have sex too frequently

Everything should be done in moderation. We all know that too much is as bad as too little. The same is true for sex life. A moderate sex life can bring people a pleasant mood and experience, and is good for the body and health. However, if you indulge in lust without restraint, the reproductive organs will be congested for a long time, which will cause sexual function decline, and easily cause prostatitis, prostate hypertrophy, impotence, premature ejaculation, and inability to ejaculate.

2. Do not have sex too early

Nowadays, with the popularization of sex education, more and more people are trying the forbidden fruit out of curiosity. But generally speaking, men do not mature until they are 24 or 25 years old. If they have sex too early, their sexual organs will not mature yet, which will deplete their sperm and easily cause sexual dysfunction to varying degrees. After adulthood, they are prone to premature ejaculation, impotence, backache, and aging.

3. Avoid wearing jeans every day

Jeans, as a trend, are liked by more and more people. Medical research has shown that men's reproductive system works best at low temperatures. Frequently wearing jeans will cause the local temperature to be too high, which will lead to poor sperm formation.

4. Pay attention to personal hygiene

Paying attention to hygiene is something that everyone needs to pay attention to. Not only women need to pay attention to it, but men also need to pay attention to it. Especially those with long foreskin need to remove the smegma economically, because smegma is not only easy to cause penile cancer, but also easy to cause cervical cancer in wives. Therefore, whether in sex or in daily life, you need to pay attention to self-hygiene.

5. Avoid unclean sex

In fact, many sexually transmitted diseases in men are related to unclean sex, such as syphilis and gonorrhea. Unclean sex not only makes it easy for you to get sick, but also spreads the virus to your wife and even children, which is extremely harmful. You must not take chances and do it. Therefore, we must ensure that sex is clean and hygienic. During sex, remember to wear a condom to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.

6. Check yourself regularly

Many men find it very embarrassing to go to the hospital for a private part examination. In fact, we can do self-examination. Medical research has shown that the cure rate of testicular cancer, penile cancer, etc. is very high if they are discovered in the early stage. Once they develop to the late stage, the treatment effect is not ideal. Therefore, men over 35 years old may wish to check their external genital organs frequently. Once an abnormality is found in the external genital organs, it needs to be paid attention to. If necessary, seek medical treatment in time so that early detection and early treatment can be achieved.
