White fluid coming out of the penis

Many male friends always think that they are healthy and will not have some men's problems. In fact, some white liquid is squeezed out of the glans penis. It depends on the factors. For example, smegma is a secretion on the foreskin. Most of them are yellowish white and are the body's own secretions. It is necessary to do a good job of cleaning and care to prevent inflammation and infection.

The foreskin is located at the front of the penis and is the double layer of penile skin that covers the glans. If you turn the foreskin over, you can see the 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 secretion that is yellow-white muddy and is called "smegma".

The secretions of the foreskin itself contain bactericidal ingredients, but due to the moist and humid environment of the foreskin cavity, bacteria can reproduce more easily here. This is a question of balance. If the growth of bacteria exceeds the self-cleaning function of the foreskin, then foreskin inflammation may occur.

In addition, as mentioned above, there are many secretory glands on the inner wall of the foreskin, and the secretions can play a lubricating role. The accumulation of secretions and the inability to be cleaned and removed normally will also be conducive to the reproduction of bacteria and cause balanitis.

Causes

1. Infection

It is often caused by unclean sexual intercourse, infection with Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Gonorrhea or other bacteria.

2. Non-infectious factors

Most of them are caused by excessive foreskin and insufficient cleaning, which leads to the accumulation of dirt between the foreskin and the glans penis, namely smegma, which irritates the local foreskin and mucous membrane and causes inflammation.

3. Balanitis

It manifests as erythema on the glans penis, and there are usually small pustules or papules on the surface. It also manifests as local edema of the glans penis mucosa, mild desquamation at the edges, and papules and pustules expand to the surrounding area to form glans penis erosion.

Clinical manifestations

In addition to causing glans itching, balanitis has the following types and accompanying symptoms:

1. Acute superficial balanitis

Initially, there is local flushing, redness and swelling of the penis skin, and a burning and itching sensation on the glans penis. When the foreskin is turned back, the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans penis can be seen to be congested and eroded, with exudate and even bleeding. After secondary infection, small ulcers can be seen, with a foul-smelling milky white purulent secretion. It is painful when rubbed against underwear, and patients often have difficulty in moving and itching of the glans penis. It may be accompanied by enlargement and tenderness of the inguinal lymph nodes.

2. Circumflex balanoposthitis

On the glans penis and foreskin, erythema can be seen, which gradually expands and becomes ring-shaped, and may form a superficial ulcer surface.

3. Candida albicans balanitis

Erythema can be seen on the foreskin and glans penis. The surface is smooth and there are small blisters. The edges of the erythema are clear. In acute attacks, there are erosions and exudates.

4. Trichomonas balanoposthitis

Papules and erythema appear on the glans penis, gradually expanding with clear edges. Needle-sized blisters can be seen on the erythema, and finally an erosive surface is formed.
