Acorn of the penis - structure, erogenous zone, inflammation of the head

The glans is the head of the penis. It is otherwise called the head of the penis. This is a very blood-supplying and touch-sensitive part of the male penis.

1. The structure of the penis

The glans is the outer part of the penis. The external structure of the male member consists of the glans penis, the foreskin, the frenulum of the frenulum, the opening of the urethra and the body with two cavernous bodies and one spongy body.

The glans is the head of the penis. It is surrounded by a fold of skin called the foreskin. The foreskin protects the head from damage and provides it with a sufficient amount of moisture. During an erection, the foreskin slides down, exposing the innervated glans penis.

The acorn is connected to the foreskin by the frenulum of the foreskin. The glans also has a urethral opening through which urine, semen and pre-ejaculate exit the body.

During adolescence at crown of the glans penis mother-of-pearl seals of the penis may appear. This phenomenon is more common in uncircumcised men. Pearl formations on the penis are not a disease, but you can undergo a course of aesthetic medicine and have them surgically removed.

2. Male erogenous zone

The acorn is an important male erogenous zone. His irritation causes sexual arousal in a man. The acorn has end sense organs all over its surface. Most of them are around the neck of the glans penis (furrows of the glans penis).

The naked head, for example, as a result of circumcision, is less susceptible to tactile stimuli, so that a man can better control an erection and prolong sexual intercourse.

3. Inflammation of the head of the penis.

Inflammation of the head of the penis may appear due to insufficient intimate hygiene, but may also be due to excessive hygiene. Sometimes inflammation of the glans penis is promoted by inappropriate soap or hygiene products.

Inflammation of the glans penis can be caused by certain genital infections. It is also a threat to the partner.

If we are dealing with inflammation of the glans penis, then the man experiences: itching under the foreskin, swelling of the glans, pain in the penis, pain when urinating, tightening of the foreskin. The acorn may become covered with white spots, and bubbles may appear on the stomach. Chronic inflammation of the glans penis can lead to penile cancer.
