Tizon Glands: Description and Essence
Tyson's glands, also known as glandulae tysoni, are named after the English anatomist Tyson, who lived in the 17th and 18th centuries. These glands are small structures located in the area of prevesical skin on the glans penis in men. Although they are minor and not an integral part of the reproductive system, the tizon glands have attracted interest among researchers and medical professionals.
Tyson's glands appear as small white or yellow bumps located under the skin of the head of the penis in an area known as the glans groove. They usually come in pairs and can be seen or felt when the skin is pulled or when an erection occurs. The size and number of glands can vary between men.
The very nature and functions of the tizon glands are still the subject of research and debate. One hypothesis is that these glands are vestigial remnants of glands of ancestral species that performed specific functions during evolution. However, in modern man they have lost their significance and do not perform known physiological functions.
In some cases, the tizon glands may become the target of medical intervention. For example, if there is uncontrolled growth or inflammation around these glands, discomfort, soreness, or even infection can occur. In such cases, surgery may be required to remove or treat the problematic tizon glands.
Despite the fact that the tizon glands are relatively little-studied structures, they continue to attract attention and interest among researchers. Further research may expand our knowledge about the origin, functions and related medical aspects of the tizon glands.
