Patient's question:
Medical Description: There are tiny granules on the glans, resembling small sand grains. The skin needs to be stretched tight to see them clearly. It doesn't cause pain or itching, but sometimes this area of skin may turn red. There is an odor from the glans, and sometimes the front of the glans may appear red. There are no other symptoms. The granules have been present for over three months with no significant changes.History of Treatment and Effect: When the granules appeared, I visited the hospital for a vinegar test (Leishman-Neelsen stain), but it did not turn white.
Help Needed: What is going on?
Doctor's answer:
The impact of balanoposthitis on men is significant. It not only causes physical discomfort but also leads to other inflammatory diseases in the male reproductive system, and can even result in male infertility. Therefore, men should pay attention to developing good hygiene habits in daily life to avoid the troubles of balanoposthitis. If accidentally diagnosed with balanoposthitis, it is important to seek timely and scientific treatment at a regular hospital.Some men may notice small bumps on their glans and be unsure what they are, even suspecting it could be a sexually transmitted disease. In fact, small bumps on the glans are a typical symptom of balanoposthitis. Therefore, if a man notices small bumps on his glans, it is highly likely that he may have balanoposthitis. It is best to go to the hospital for examination rather than making random guesses or self-medicating.
