    The glans penis, also known as the glans penis, refers to the ball-shaped object at the front end of the male genitals. It is formed by the front end of the urethral cavernous body. The end of the front end is the urethral opening, which is the mutual entrance and exit for urine and semen.

    The male genitals can be divided into the glans penis, male genital body, and male genital root from front to back. For guys with a long foreskin, the glans of the penis can be seen only by pulling off the foreskin. If an adult's foreskin is too long and cannot be pulled off to reveal the glans penis, this is commonly known as foreskin overlongness. The area around the coronal sulcus of the glans penis is an area that hides dirt. The residual urine after urination will accumulate between the glans penis and the foreskin, allowing the substances in the urine to settle and allow germs and bacteria to breed, resulting in a large amount of urinary dirt, which is concentrated in the coronal sulcus. Generally speaking, urine stains should be cleaned once a day or two to prevent inflammation. Be sure to clean the glans penis and foreskin before sex.

    Possible causes of small lumps of flesh on the glans penis:

    1. Pearl-like papules on the male genitals are manifested as small granulation-like protrusions in the coronal sulcus of the glans penis. The material is soft, without any pain, local secretions, bleeding, etc., and will not cause infection. It is not easy to infect a partner through sexual intercourse. It is a normal physiological phenomenon that generally does not require any treatment. It is more common in patients with long foreskin or excessive foreskin. In some patients, such small granulations can slowly disappear after circumcision surgery.

    2. Genital warts are caused by human papillomavirus infection through unclean sexual behavior. Small granulation changes may occur. At the same time, as the disease progresses, the volume may expand with abnormal secretion, foul odor, bleeding, pain when touched, and other symptoms. Combined with each other, they may form cauliflower-like hard lumps with uneven surfaces. It is necessary to carry out partial histopathological removal and then carry out antiviral treatment. If the disease is not antiviral, it may lead to recurrence and incurability.
