Similar to an acorn, the glans has a smooth surface, covered with a mucocutaneous-type epithelium, and a soft texture.
The glans is important for being the seat of the urinary meatus, from which urine and sperm come out, and of a dense network of nerve endings, which give it an indispensable sensitivity to the perception of gratifying and tense sexual stimuli for procreation.
The glans can be subject to dermatitis and inflammation (balanitis and balanoposthitis); moreover, it can bear the clinical signs (usually spots or dots) of various infectious diseases (eg: genital herpes, syphilis, scabies, candida and molluscum contagiosum).
