    The blackening of the glans may be caused by frequent sexual intercourse, or by not paying attention to hygiene. It cannot be ruled out that it is caused by balanitis. It may also be caused by poor local blood circulation.

    1. Frequent sex

    For men, if their sexual desire is relatively high, especially young men, excessive friction will cause the glans to turn black during frequent sexual intercourse, so they should limit the number of intercourse to about two to three times a week.

    2. Not paying attention to hygiene

    If the glans area is not cleaned for a long time, the accumulation of excessive dirt may cause the color to turn black. You should pay attention to cleaning. You can use warm water to clean underwear. You also need to change it regularly to avoid sitting for a long time.

    3. Balanitis

    When balanitis occurs, if it is not treated in time, it may cause the local color to change and gradually turn black. However, after actively cooperating with the doctor for treatment, the color will gradually recover after the inflammation subsides.

    4. Poor blood circulation

    If there is trauma to the glans, there may be blood accumulation, causing the color to turn black. After the operation, the bandage will be tight, and the blood circulation will not be smooth, which will also cause the glans to turn black. You should pay more attention to rest and loosen the gauze bandage. After the blood circulation is smooth, the color can be improved.

    You should take part in appropriate physical exercise in your daily life.
