Why is the glans purple?

It is normal for the glans to appear purple. This is mainly due to the blood accumulation and physiological reaction of the glans. When the male penis is stimulated, the penis will become erect, which will cause the glans to become congested, so the glans will appear purple. Inflammation of the glans will also cause it to turn purple. Men need to pay attention to the hygiene of the glans to avoid inflammation.

What is the normal color of the glans penis?

The normal glans should be pink. The color of the glans is related to a person's age, skin color, fatigue, erection, etc. The blackening of the glans is usually a sign of maturity. Repeated congestion of the penis will deposit melanin and darken the color of the penis. Balanitis can cause the glans of men to turn black, mainly due to the long-term inflammatory stimulation of glans inflammatory bacteria.

What is the normal color of a man's glans? Male friends who have symptoms of balanitis should go to a regular hospital for treatment in time to avoid adverse consequences. Shenzhen Jianguo Urology Hospital has launched the CRS superconducting treatment system, which is currently the safest and most efficient technology for treating urogenital infections in the world, and has obvious advantages in treating balanitis.

How to treat balanitis? The CRS superconducting treatment system uses a gene chip bacteria and virus detection system to accurately identify the cause of the disease and eliminate misdiagnosis. Targeting the affected area, the CRS superconducting treatment system's unique superconducting energy can quickly eliminate various bacteria and eliminate virus-causing toxins. In conjunction with gene enhancement technology, it can enhance the body's own immunity.

Under normal circumstances, when the penis is flaccid, the color of the glans is light red or purple-red when it is covered by the foreskin; after circumcision, the glans is exposed and the skin is the same as the penis. Your situation is normal, don't worry, the penis will only turn red when it is erect.

When the glans skin is infected, some abnormal colors will appear. If the color is not red, then it should be taken seriously. The color change may be a sign of some disease, so it must be taken seriously. If it is serious, an examination should be done.

Why is the glans penis purple?

A large part of the purple glans is caused by balanitis.

Balanitis refers to inflammation of the inner layer of the foreskin and the glans penis. A lipid substance secreted in the normal foreskin cavity can accumulate into smegma when the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs, which can irritate the foreskin and glans penis and cause balanitis. This disease can also be caused by bacterial or fungal infection or drug allergy.

Causes of balanitis

1. Simple or non-infectious factors

In addition to physiological phimosis, glans inflammation changes may occur due to excessive foreskin, smegma stimulation after sexual maturity, or a few mechanical injury factors.

2. Infectious or communicable diseases

Balanitis is mainly caused by pathogenic microorganisms, among which bacterial and fungal infections are the most common.

What to do if the glans penis becomes purple and inflamed

1. Keep the area clean to prevent secondary infection. Apply iodine-fluoride solution or anti-inflammatory ointment locally. Allergic balanitis requires oral anti-allergic drugs and topical cortisone ointment.

2. For exudate erosion, you can use 3% boric acid water or 0.1% levulinol wet compress.

3. Corticosteroid cream can be used for patients in the non-infectious subacute stage.

4. For chronic stage or dry desquamation, tetracycline cortisone ointment can be used.

5. If the infection is obvious, with fever and lymphadenopathy, systemic antibiotics such as cefuroxime or ofloxacin can be applied.

6. Circumcision: If the foreskin or foreskin is swollen and cannot be turned over for washing and drainage is not smooth, and the inflammation still cannot subside after general treatment, dorsal circumcision can be performed to facilitate drainage. Circumcision can be performed after the inflammation completely subsides.
