Hirsuties coronae glandis

Hirsuties coronae glandis (also known as hirsutoid papillomas and pear penile papules ) ( PPP ) is a small bulge that may formed on the ridge of the human penis gland. They are a variation of normal anatomy in humans and are sometimes depicted as remnants of penile spines, sensitive features found in the same location in other primates. In species where penile spines are expressed, as well as in humans who have them, thorns are thought to contribute to sexual pleasure and faster orgasms. It has been theorized that pearly pearl papules stimulate female vagina during intercourse, but given their very small size it seems highly unlikely. In addition, penile pearly papules secrete oils that moisturize the penis glands.

Papules appear as single or multiple rows of small, reddish or colored lumps such as meat, smooth, domes located around the corona or glandular sulcus. They can range in size from less than 1 mm to 3 mm. In 1999, different studies have resulted in an estimated incidence ranging from 8 to 48 percent of all men. Studies show that it is more common in younger men and those who have not been circumcised. One study found them in 33.3% of uncircumcised men and 7.1% of circumcised men.

Penile penile papules are sometimes mistaken with human papillomavirus infection (HPV) because of the similarity that is felt in appearance.

A similar phrase, vestibular vulva papillomatosis or "hirsuties papillaris vulvae", occurs in women and can also be misconstrued as HPV infection. Like the genital papillary hirsuties, it is a normal variation in human anatomy.

Medical removal

While genital papillary hirsuties pose no risk to men's health, some men or their sexual partners may perceive them as aesthetically unpleasant. There are several medical ways to remove it. As with elective medical procedures, there is always the risk of unexpected consequences, so doctors advise them not to be excluded unless they cause serious problems to the patient.

One of the available treatments is performed by a dermatologist, using a CO ₂ laser to vaporize the papules. This usually only takes a few minutes to do. Simple and usually does not require hospitalization; the discomfort should be minimal and the expected recovery time is one to two weeks. Another procedure involves electro surgery done with a hyfrecator and should be done in less than an hour.

Both procedures should be an outpatient procedure if no complications arise.

Myths and misconceptions

Although not associated with any pathological condition, papillary genitalia is sometimes mistakenly thought of as HPV warts. There is also home remedy to "heal" it, despite the fact that the papules are not contagious or harmful to one's health and may have beneficial functions. Some "home remedies" found on the Internet and elsewhere use ointments or mild creams to soften the papules, but others are physically dangerous techniques for removal of the papules that can result in permanent genital mutilation.

Rapini et al. suggests that, since dermatologists have a safe and effective way to remove papules if desired, home remedies involving corrosive substances or self-surgery should be avoided, as they can permanently damage sexual function. Rapini et al. further states that removal should only be done by physicians who use proven medical techniques.
