    The glans fissure may be caused by fungal infection and balanitis, but it is not ruled out that it is caused by hypospadias, and it needs to be paid attention to and actively treated.

    1. Fungal infection

    If it is caused by fungal infection, you can use potassium permanganate for local cleaning, and you can treat it with external application of daxonine cream under the guidance of a doctor.

    2. Balanitis

    Excessive foreskin or careless hygiene can cause balanitis. When the glans is inflamed, small cracks will appear on the glans. It can be treated with topical betamethasone cream or clotrimazole cream and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

    3. Hypospadias

    Abnormal urethral opening leads to hypospadias. The opening may be under the glans, causing symptoms of glans dehiscence. In this case, you can go to a regular hospital for surgical treatment.

    It is recommended that patients should maintain good hygiene, eat a light diet, and avoid irritating foods. If they have symptoms of discomfort, they should seek medical examination and treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition.
