What is the cause of smegma? Please read the introduction of andrologists!

Men with foreskin that is too long will find that some very dirty stuff is easily produced inside the foreskin. This is the so-called smegma, but everyone does not know how smegma appears. In fact, human skin secretes sebaceous glands, and the sebaceous glands secreted by the glans will remain inside the foreskin. If it is not cleaned for a long time, smegma will be produced.

1. Foreskin is too long

The foreskin can harbor dirt, especially a smelly white secretion called smegma. The main cause of smegma is that the foreskin is too long and the genital hygiene is not taken care of. It is mostly grayish white and has a strange smell.

2. Caused by sebum secretion

Just as the skin of other parts of the body secretes sebum, the sebaceous glands of the foreskin also secrete sebum. Since the foreskin cannot be turned up when the foreskin is too long, the sebum accumulates in the gap between the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans penis. At the same time, urine will also penetrate into this gap and react chemically with the sebum to form smegma, which produces a strange odor. The long-term accumulation of smegma will turn into hard lumps, causing the smegma to increase.

3. History of unclean sexual intercourse

Once there is a history of unclean sexual intercourse, pathogens of various urinary diseases will multiply in large numbers in the coronal sulcus and urethral opening under the cover and protection of the foreskin.

4. How to clean smegma?

The method of cleaning the foreskin is very simple. First, turn the foreskin up, wash it with warm water, and then wipe it clean with a warm and wet towel. But do not use special cleaning and disinfecting liquid, rinse with physiological saline to avoid irritating the glans penis. Of course, shower gel is fine, and remember to rinse it with clean water at the end.

In fact, it is very difficult to clean the smegma due to the foreskin being too long or foreskin. The foreskin of some men cannot be turned outward or cannot be turned up completely, which makes cleaning more difficult. Summer is a season when bacteria are prone to breed, which will only make the smegma increase faster and not easy to remove. The consequences can be imagined. The harm to men is very great. Therefore, if a man has a lot of smegma, the better solution is to choose a regular andrology hospital for circumcision surgery, so that you can say goodbye to smegma forever.
