Purple glans

The glans of a man is a particularly sensitive area. The color of the glans is generally flesh-colored. When a man has an erection, the glans may turn purple or even a little blue. This is because the entire male penis has no bones and is connected by blood vessels and tendons. This is why it becomes extremely hard during an erection. But at the same time, this area is also particularly susceptible to bacterial infection. So is it normal for the edge of the male glans to turn purple?

The glans is slightly purple and blue. If it is slightly purple, it is normal and may be related to the excessive erection of the penis. If it is accompanied by pain and swelling, you need to consider balanitis. It is mostly caused by bacterial infection caused by excessive foreskin. Go to the urology department of the hospital for a detailed examination. If the examination is normal, no treatment is needed. If you have balanitis, you need to actively use medication for treatment.

The color of the glans is dark red, especially the edge of the glans, because it has abundant nerve endings, abundant blood supply, and frequent friction. Therefore, when erect, the edge of the glans becomes darker, which is a very normal phenomenon. If the base of the glans is purple, that is, the edge of the glans becomes darker red with a little purple, there should be no problem.

Generally speaking, the glans penis will not turn purple, but for some men with phimosis, when forced to have sexual intercourse, due to the narrow foreskin opening, it will retract and get stuck in the coronal sulcus of the glans penis, which will block blood circulation and cause penile incarceration. If the blood is blocked for a long time, the penis will turn purple and die, which is the most serious situation.
