White foreign matter on the penis

Every man wants to have a healthy penis, so that he will be more confident and cheerful. However, many times men will find white foreign objects on their penis, sometimes accompanied by itching and odor. At this time, men will be ashamed to see people and embarrassed to see a doctor. In the end, the condition becomes more and more serious. In fact, it is not terrible to have white foreign objects on the penis. You must seek treatment early. So today, let’s take a look at why there are white foreign objects on the penis.

Many male friends will occasionally find white objects on their penis, accompanied by a strange smell, and it will itch over time. The white secretions on the male penis are caused by the foreskin being too long. If it is not cleaned in time, it will lead to a large number of bacteria breeding and cause balanitis.

Common clinical types of balanitis include the following, and their symptoms are:

1. Acute superficial balanoposthitis is characterized by local flushing at the onset, redness and swelling of the penis skin, and a burning and itching sensation in the glans. When the foreskin is turned back, the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans can be seen to be congested and eroded, with exudate and even bleeding. After secondary infection, small ulcers can be seen, with foul-smelling milky white purulent secretions. If it rubs against underwear, it will be painful, and the patient often has difficulty in moving. It may be accompanied by enlargement and tenderness of the inguinal lymph nodes.

2. Annular ulcerated balanoposthitis: Erythema can be seen on the glans and foreskin, which gradually expands and becomes ring-shaped, and may form superficial ulcers.

3. In case of Candida albicans balanitis, erythema can be seen on the foreskin and glans, with a smooth surface and small blisters. The edges of the erythema are clear, and there are erosions and exudates during acute attacks.

4. Trichomonas phimosis glans penis will cause papules and erythema on the glans penis, which will gradually expand and have clear edges. Small blisters the size of a needle can be seen on the erythema, and finally an erosive surface will form.

The white discharge on the penis is caused by the foreskin being too long, because the foreskin will secrete some sebum, and the foreskin being too long will cause these sebum to not be effectively cleaned, and slowly accumulate to form smegma, which sometimes emits an unpleasant smell. The white substance on the penis is the smegma. If it is not cleaned in time, it will lead to a large number of bacteria breeding, leading to balanitis.

If the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs, the foreskin will be turned outward frequently, and foreign matter will be present in the glans coronal groove, forming smegma. Smegma is a place for bacteria to reproduce. The residual urine and smegma mix to form a natural culture base for bacteria, which can stimulate the glans and cause inflammation, called balanitis, which causes the glans to be red, swollen and itchy frequently. If the inflammation occurs at the urethral opening, it can cause the urethral opening to narrow after healing, causing difficulty in urination.
