What is glans cyst?

Glans cyst is a cystic lesion in the internal structure of the glans. It is usually caused by chronic inflammatory stimulation or congenital developmental abnormalities. When the cyst increases, it usually requires surgical removal.

Glans cysts mainly appear on the glans. If the glans often has chronic inflammation, it will cause the skin to be irritated to a certain extent, so local tissue hyperplasia is prone to occur. Cystic lesions will appear for a long time, which is related to bacterial infection or smegma accumulation to stimulate mucosal tissue. You need to pay attention to local cleaning and care, and observe the growth and size of the cyst.

If the glans cyst is not particularly large, you can choose anti-infective ointment. For example, erythromycin ointment can have an anti-inflammatory effect, but when it is larger, the growth rate will be more obvious, which will affect the health of the genitals and normal sexual function. It can usually be removed directly through surgery. A comprehensive examination is required before surgery.

After being diagnosed with glans cyst, you need to pay special attention to your own health. If you have symptoms of foreskin, you can choose to undergo circumcision surgery to avoid the accumulation of smegma for a long time. In addition, you should avoid wearing underwear that is too tight. Tight underwear will cause severe friction and irritation to the glans, which can easily lead to the growth of cysts. Therefore, it is dangerous and requires close observation and care.
