Hi doctor,
I have some problem in my penis. I have attached the photos for your reference. It is round always remain dark purple and the tip remains red. It is like this since many years. Sometimes, I can feel some irritation. Kindly advice.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The round circle of the glans is called corona and it generally remains dark compared to the rest of the glans. Looking through the photos you have attached (attachment removed to protect patient identity), I think it looks totally normal. So, do not worry. There is no need for any treatment.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
With reference to the photos attached earlier, it feels like wound in urethra. When I softly press corona and shaft, it seems like there is a swelling inside. Sometimes, I have to apply pressure to urinate and during urination. Also, I feel irritation during erection, rarely it is very little painful inside pipe under corona. I can also feel slight irritation in lower abdomen area (left side) near waist. My urine color is normally transparent white or light yellow. Please advice.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
The urinary meatus usually looks reddish and people mistake it as wound. It is totally normal. Occasional dysuria (difficulty in urination) or straining does not need any treatment.
