There are a few small red spots on the glans

Small red spots appear on the glans. This symptom is likely to be glansitis, but it may also be pearly rash. If you have an unclean sex life, it may also be a sexually transmitted disease. It is best to go to the hospital to find out the cause and then treat the symptoms. Never take medicine blindly. You also need to pay more attention to personal hygiene, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, and wash your private parts with warm water more often.

The glans penis is the most important part of the male reproductive system. Its surface is densely covered with nerve endings. When stimulated, it will drive the muscle tissue to contract under the control of the nerve endings, and on this basis, ejaculation will be formed. However, nowadays, many male friends have symptoms of glans inflammation, which has a serious impact on their lives.

1. Impact on male life: Inflammatory stimulation causes redness, swelling, itching and pain in the glans penis, which brings a lot of trouble to men. At the same time, glans inflammation can reduce male sexual ability, lead to male infertility, and can also infect sexual partners with gynecological inflammation, all of which seriously affect the relationship between husband and wife and destroy family harmony.

2. Induce urinary system diseases: Because the glans penis is close to the urethral opening, glans inflammation can easily infect the urethral mucosa, causing urethritis, and ascending infection along the urethra, causing urinary system diseases, which are more common in cystitis, nephritis, pyelonephritis, etc. If the acute stage of the disease is not handled properly, it can be life-threatening.

??3. Cause male infertility: Penis inflammation stimulates the glans skin and foreskin mucosa, which can produce a large amount of inflammatory secretions. The inflammatory secretions in the glans foreskin can enter the vagina together with semen during sexual intercourse, reducing the quality of semen and destroying sperm and egg cells, leading to male infertility.

??4. Lead to decreased sexual function: Penitis can damage the sensory nerves of the glans penis, making men too sensitive during sexual life, which can easily lead to male impotence and premature ejaculation, reduce male sexual function, and affect men's normal sexual life.

What are the examination items for glansitis?

Direct microscopic examination: scrape the scales from the skin lesions on the glans penis, coronal sulcus or foreskin as the specimens to be tested. Prepare the specimens with 10% potassium hydroxide or saline, and groups of oval spores and pseudohyphae can be seen under the microscope. If more pseudohyphae are found, it means that Candida is in the pathogenic stage.

Staining examination: Gram staining, Congo red staining or PAS staining can also be used for microscopic examination, and the positive rate is higher than that of direct microscopic examination. Gram staining, spores and pseudohyphae are stained blue: Congo red and PAS staining, spores and pseudohyphae are stained red.

Isolation culture: Patients with negative smear tests can undergo Candida culture. Inoculate the specimen on Sabouraud culture medium under sterile conditions. When inoculating, cut the test tube culture medium slightly at an angle. Inoculate 2-3 places in each tube, and inoculate 2 tubes for each specimen. Place the culture medium in a 37°C incubator and incubate for 24-48 hours. A large number of milky white colonies can be seen growing. Use an inoculation needle to pick up a small amount of colonies for smear. Direct microscopy or microscopy after staining can show a large number of spores, which can be preliminarily diagnosed as Candida infection.
