Patient's question:
It has been a month, and there are many small particles on the glans. What are the small particles on the glans?Doctor's answer:
Small particles on the glans may be a sign of balanitis, which is further divided into balanitis and balanoposthitis. This inflammation can be infectious or non-infectious, with infectious balanitis being more common in clinical practice. Infectious cases are often caused by unprotected sex, leading to infections with Candida albicans, mycoplasma, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria. Non-infectious factors are usually due to excessive foreskin, inadequate hygiene. Treatment primarily involves using anti-inflammatory medications tailored to the specific infectious agent, along with attention to local cleanliness.
