What is the cause of pus on the glans penis?

There is an important passage on the male glans, which is the urethra. Therefore, the glans bears many male reproductive functions, such as urination and ejaculation. At the same time, the male glans can be said to be the most vulnerable area of ​​the body. If you do not pay attention to personal hygiene, you are prone to glansitis. Some men have found that their glans have purulent discharge, so what is the disease of a male glans purulent discharge?

What is the cause of pus discharge from the glans penis?

1. Penis discharge may be the main symptom of gonorrhea

Gonorrhea is characterized by the discharge of purulent secretions from the penis. The pathogenic bacteria of gonorrhea are gonococci, which enter the epithelial cells of the urethral mucosa and multiply inside the cells to form acute inflammation. A large number of white blood cells gather at the inflamed site to phagocytize the bacteria. The endotoxins released by the dead bacteria cause the mucosal layer to necrotize, producing a large amount of purulent secretions that are discharged from the penis.

The initial symptoms of gonorrhea are redness, swelling, itching and slight tingling of the penis, followed by purulent discharge from the penis, which gradually worsens. If effective treatment is not taken at this time, it may turn into chronic gonococcal urethritis. Some patients may also develop prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, epididymitis, etc.

2. Penile pus discharge may be fungal balanitis

If the fungal glans infection causes the purulent discharge, the affected area will also show erythema, swelling, fever, ulceration, exudation, and in severe cases, blisters and pustules may appear. The patient will feel burning and pain. In severe cases, the patient will have fever, general weakness and other discomforts. If the male fungal infection of glans does not heal for a long time, the glans and foreskin will adhere to each other, forming secondary phimosis, and even leading to stenosis of the external urethral opening.

3. Penile discharge may be caused by balanitis

Penile discharge is most commonly caused by infectious balanitis. Non-infectious factors are mostly due to excessive foreskin and insufficient cleaning, which results in the accumulation of smegma, which irritates the local foreskin and causes penile discharge. Penile discharge is generally a symptom of balanitis. 4. Penile discharge may be caused by urethritis.

Turbid urine, urethral itching, purulent secretions in the urethra, which are mucous at first and gradually become purulent, accompanied by redness and swelling of the urethral opening, mucosal eversion, urgency, frequency, pain, stinging pain in the urethra, mental depression, and in severe cases, chills, high fever, and difficulty urinating. The secretions of patients with chronic urethritis will decrease, and the symptoms of frequent urination, pain, and urgency will be alleviated during the non-acute attack period, accompanied only by itching or a tingling sensation.

How to care for the male glans

The sebum of the male foreskin will secrete a kind of white secretion, which will accumulate for a long time and form smegma. At the same time, because the foreskin is too long, the foreskin will "wrap" the male's glans, keeping the glans in a dark and humid environment for a long time. The dark and humid environment and smegma are the best places and nutrients for bacteria to reproduce. Male friends should pay attention to washing the glans foreskin to eliminate the hidden dangers of bacterial reproduction.

The foreskin is too long, the urethral opening is red and swollen, and light yellow discharge can be seen from the urethral opening when the urethra is squeezed. The amount is not much. The underwear is also sticky with yellow discharge. The testicles are not enlarged and there is no tenderness. The prostate is not large and soft during anal examination.

Since the inner layer of the foreskin is thinner and more sensitive to chemical detergents than the outer layer, you only need to clean the foreskin and glans every day when you take a shower. After pulling the foreskin back to the glans, rinse off the accumulated dirt and sebum with clean water.

If dirt accumulates between the foreskin and the glans and causes inflammation, you can soak and scrub it with a special vulva disinfectant and cleaning solution. If it is serious, you should consult a specialist. If it is a foreskin, it is often impossible to completely clean the smegma. Even if the foreskin can be turned up, it is easy to cause foreskin incarceration. It is recommended to perform circumcision as soon as possible.
