How to clean the smegma of foreskin, teach you how to do it

Phimosis is a very common men's disease. It is easy to have smegma if you have phimosis. If the smegma is not cleaned in time, it will cause glans inflammation and lead to difficulty in urination. You need to understand the correct way to clean the smegma. If you have phimosis, you should undergo surgery in time.

1. How to clean the smegma of foreskin

1. Phimosis patients are prone to produce smegma, which is a place for bacteria to breed. The mixture of residual urine and smegma forms a natural breeding base for bacteria, which can easily cause inflammation of the foreskin and glans penis, causing difficulty in urination. Moreover, smegma can easily lead to male penile cancer and female cervical cancer, so phimosis patients should pay attention to cleaning smegma.

2. 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, peeling off the smegma or stones, and then rinse with saline. If the foreskin can be turned up, just pay attention to turning it up frequently and clean the coronal sulcus of the foreskin with clean water. The foreskin should not be moved too frequently, because the foreskin skin is tender, and too much friction will cause damage to the foreskin skin. If the foreskin is forcibly turned up and cannot be reset, it may cause foreskin incarceration, because it may cause glans necrosis, you must go to the hospital immediately for help.

3. When cleaning the smegma, do not use irritating detergents because the inner layer of the foreskin is thinner than the outer layer and is more sensitive to chemical detergents. Just rinse with water. Mild soaps and shower gels are also OK. Patients who have suffered from glans phimosis should turn the foreskin up when cleaning the foreskin of the penis. They can be cleaned with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution and then apply antibiotic ointment. After understanding how patients with phimosis clean the smegma, men should also know that male phimosis is extremely harmful. If there is a problem with phimosis, go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

2. Phimosis prevention and health care

Nursing care

1. Before circumcision, pay attention to the local hygiene of the penis and wash it frequently. If the foreskin cannot be turned up, do not force it. If it can be turned up for washing, restore the foreskin to its original position after washing to avoid incarcerated phimosis.

2. If circumcision is performed, the penis should be cleaned with warm water or 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution 3 days before the operation. After the operation, in addition to paying attention to the above medications to prevent penile erection bleeding and inflammation, attention should also be paid to the dryness of the dressing. If it is soaked with urine, it should be replaced in time. Generally, the stitches are removed 5-7 days after the operation.

Diet and Health

1. Before circumcision, there are no special dietary requirements.

2. Within 1 week after circumcision, you should eat more nutritious foods, such as meat, fish, eggs, etc., which will help the incision grow.
