If you don't wash your glans for a day, there will be a lot of dandruff

Smegma is also known as smegma. Smegma is a layer of dirt covering the glans, which gradually accumulates and appears white. Although smegma is not a disease, it should not be underestimated. If the smegma is not washed for a day, it is easy to develop certain diseases, such as balanitis. Therefore, male friends need to pay attention to the hygiene of private parts and clean them frequently.

What is the reason for increased smegma?

Smegma, as the name suggests, is dirt inside the foreskin, which is easy for most male friends to understand. In fact, it is not just normal dirt, but more of a pathogen that causes repeated infections, so its presence affects men's physical and mental health all the time.

Causes of increased smegma:

1. Balanitis: Due to unclean sexual intercourse, infection with Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Trichomonas, fungi, Gonorrhea or other bacteria can stimulate the balanitis and cause the increase of smegma.

2. Phimosis and prepuce are too long: In addition to prepuce is too long, there are other reasons for the sudden increase of smegma, such as hot weather can also cause the sudden increase of smegma. These are the reasons for the sudden increase of smegma. If you do not do circumcision, simple cleaning cannot prevent inflammation and infection.

How to clean smegma correctly?

1. Turn over the foreskin and clean the coronal sulcus of the foreskin with clean water. The foreskin should not be turned over too frequently, because the foreskin skin is tender and excessive friction will cause damage to the foreskin skin.

2. If the foreskin is too long and cannot be retracted after being forcibly turned up, it may cause foreskin incarceration, which may cause necrosis of the glans penis. You must go to the hospital for help immediately.

3. To clean the smegma, the foreskin must first be able to be turned up to the coronal sulcus. If the adhesion is severe and cannot be turned up, you need to go to the hospital to use a ball-tipped probe to separate it until the foreskin is completely turned up, exposing the glans and frenulum, removing the smegma or stones, and then rinse with saline.

4. When cleaning the smegma, since the inner layer of the foreskin is thinner and more sensitive to chemical detergents than the outer layer, you cannot use irritating detergents, just rinse with water. Mild soaps and shower gels are also fine.

5. Patients who have already suffered from balanitis should turn the foreskin up when cleaning the penile foreskin. They can use 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution to wash it, and then apply antibiotic ointment.
