Are there small particles on the glans?

If small granular substances appear on the glans of a man, he may have balanitis. The causes of balanitis are mostly due to friction or bad hygiene and living habits. It may also be caused by bacterial infection. In addition to paying attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia, you also need to change your underwear frequently. It is best not to masturbate if you have done so. Go to the hospital for relevant examinations and treatment as soon as possible.

How to treat balanitis

1. Keep the area clean and avoid irritation.

2. For those with clear causes of illness, special treatment should be given to the causative factors.

3. For those with excessive foreskin, circumcision should be performed after the acute inflammation is controlled.

4. For patients with obvious infection accompanied by fever and swollen lymph nodes, systemic antibiotics can be applied.

5. If pus discharge has occurred during the treatment of balanitis, you can wipe off the pus first, and then soak the affected area in diluted Alic for about a quarter of an hour.

6. Local treatment is very important. For those with dry and desquamative symptoms, apply corticosteroid ointment. For erosions with exudate as the main symptom, use solution for wet compress.

7. When using drugs to treat balanitis, if the inflammation is not just beginning, it is best to take oral or topical medications while also conducting intravenous treatments. This can prevent further aggravation of inflammation and lead to erosion or pus discharge.

How to self-check whether you have balanitis?

1. Pay attention to the distribution of pubic hair and whether there are any external genitalia deformities. If there are any deformities, further examination of the body shape, hair distribution, and breast development is required.

2. Pay attention to the development of the penis, such as whether the foreskin is too long, whether there is phimosis or incarceration, whether the development of the penis is consistent with the age, whether the urethral opening is ectopic, and whether there is inflammation, adhesion, stenosis or cyst at the urethral opening.

3. Pay attention to the condition of the corpus cavernosum of the penis for tenderness or nodules, for lesions such as papules, warts or ulcers on the glans penis, for inflammation, scars or neoplasms.

4. Examination of scrotal contents: First, pay attention to the size and shape of the scrotum, whether there are chronic fistulas or skin adhesions, if there is scrotal swelling, whether it is on one side or both sides, and whether there are any acute inflammatory changes in the scrotal skin.

5. Pay attention to the size, hardness and mobility of the inguinal lymph nodes, and whether there are chronic ulcers or scars.
