What color is the glans?

Patient's question:

What color are the glans and coronal sulcus of the penis? There is a very red area on the glans, is it a disease? First question supplement: It doesn't hurt or itch.

Doctor's answer:

The color of the glans penis is originally pink or dark red. When the glans appears purple, it indicates poor blood flow to the penis and congestion. In cases of phimosis, if forced intercourse occurs, the tight foreskin may retract and get stuck at the coronal sulcus of the glans, obstructing blood circulation. Over time, this can lead to penile discoloration and necrosis.
