Question 1

what is the definition or description of: glans?

Accepted Answer

Guessing glans penis: One young man referred to the glans penis as the "mushroom part" of the penis - the sensitive end of the penis. This is different than "glands" - which are parts of the body that produce hormones. Examples are the thyroid gland which puts out thyroid hormone, or the ovary which makes estrogen, progesterone, etc. I hope this helps.

Question 2

could it be the prominent permanent exposed glans?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ....: This - to permanently and completely expose glans penis, may occur naturally or after circumcision. For more, ask your urologist timely.

Question 3

what is the cause of sensitive glans and how to cure it?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: For a 16-y-o man, over time in use and exposure (no long tight foreskin), its sensitivity will slowly decrease but at a widely unpredictable yet variable degree and pace among all men. So, time will tells. More? Seek pro-evaluation and counseling timely. .

Question 4

what does it mean penls glans & just behind it are painful?

Accepted Answer

FromBanalToBalanitis: It means it might have an infection. Is it red and swollen? That's called "balanitis." And if you are also uncircumcised and it is inflamed it's called "balanoposthitis" (try and say that with a mouth full of graham crackers!). If there's blisters there that's another red flag, so get it checked-out by a doctor for that and to make sure something else isn't lurking in or around that area.

Question 5

i am experiencing skin covering glans.

Accepted Answer

Same as every guy: In every normal boy, his penis comes covered by his skin called foreskin. Boys are naturally born that way. As boys grow bigger and older, and go through puberty, the foreskin becomes looser and is able to slide back over and off the glans (head of the penis), which is very important for cleaning. One's doctor can help if a guy did not get his foreskin to loosen during puberty.

Question 6

how do you make swollen glans go down ?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Lymph nodes need evaluation.   You can't make them go down by yourself.

Question 7

how hard should the glans be during erection?

Accepted Answer

Hard enough to : Penetrate without much effort.

Question 8

is my forskin supposed to be linked to my glans?

Accepted Answer

Nope: You should be able to retract freeing the entire glans. The attachment is called an adhesion. Really no problem, but talk to your doctor.

Question 9

please explain why is my foreskin attached to my glans?

Accepted Answer

Adhesions or ?bridge: Foreskin can remain attached to glans by adhesions if was never retractable.  Penile skin bridging is a complication of circumcision where circumcisin scar is attached to glans abraison &amp; this "skin bridge" becomes epithelialized. In which case remaining foreskin &amp; glans skin have grown together. Worth seeing a urologist to take care of this.

Question 10

why is my glans stuck to my foreskin as i pull it down?

Accepted Answer

It's grown together: Sometimes the foreskin can begin to stick to the glans.  This often starts in childhood.  Gentle stretching and retraction of the foreskin will sometimes help in the younger years, but at your age, it is likely you should see a doctor to determine if stretching is still an option, or if a surgical procedure of clipping the attachments is needed.  This is not a circumcision, but a small clipping.
