What are the small white spots under the glans?

Small white spots under the glans may be caused by urinary tract infection, or they may be symptoms of pearly papules or condyloma acuminatum, so it is best for men to check the cause and then treat it accordingly. If it is caused by condyloma acuminatum, the patient needs to undergo surgery in time, while urinary tract inflammation is generally treated by taking antibiotics and diuretics. Patients can learn about the specific treatment methods.

What is the reason for the white spots on the glans?

The main reasons for the appearance of white spots on the male glans are as follows:

(1) Urinary tract infection. Infectious urinary tract infection is more common in clinical practice. Infectious urinary tract infection is often caused by sexual intercourse, infection with Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Gonorrhea or other bacteria, or due to excessive foreskin and insufficient cleaning. The dirt between the foreskin and the glans penis, namely smegma, will accumulate and irritate the local foreskin and mucous membrane to cause inflammation. At this time, there will be white or red spots on the foreskin and glans penis.

(2) Pearly papules, which is one of the common diseases of glansitis. In the early stage of damage, there are white, skin-colored and light red rice-sized papules, which are painless and itchy. Generally, they can last for a long time and will not change. This disease is common in patients with phimosis or prepuce that is too long. Between the glans and the long prepuce, a warm and moist bacterial culture medium is formed due to the shed epithelial cells, glandular secretions and smegma bacteria. Once bacteria enter, they can cause infection and cause this disease. If the red spots on the glans become more and larger, you should be alert to the possibility of malignancy. You cannot simply assume that it is a bacterial infection. It may be combined with other infections.

(3) Condyloma acuminatum is mostly caused by a history of unclean sexual contact. Typical lesions are initially white, skin-colored, light red 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 and itchy, and gradually grow or increase in number. Some people do not have very typical symptoms. In the early stage, the symptoms are only red spots on the glans, which can be easily confused with glansitis. However, it is well known that this disease is highly contagious, prone to recurrence, and difficult to treat. Therefore, experts remind: red spots on the glans should not be underestimated and should be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.

What are the dangers of having small white spots on the glans?

1. Harm to reproductive system health: Balanitis can easily cause other serious diseases, such as common prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis, inflammation of vas deferens and other organs. If it is not treated effectively in time, combined infection will cause great harm to reproductive health.

2. Leading to sexual dysfunction: In the early stage of phimosis and glans inflammation, the sensory nerves of the glans are damaged by the inflammation, making it easy to have premature ejaculation during sexual life. If it is not effectively treated for a long time, it will lead to impotence.

3. Cause infertility: Due to the excessive foreskin, the smegma cannot be eliminated in time. Therefore, during sexual intercourse, inflammatory secretions and semen enter the vagina together, reducing the quality of semen and destroying sperm and egg cells, leading to infertility.

4. Inducing urinary system diseases: Balanitis can easily cause ascending infection of the urinary system, leading to infection and inflammation of other organs, which is common in cystitis, nephritis, pyelonephritis, etc. Improper treatment in the acute stage can be life-threatening.
