Is it normal to have smegma every day?

Male friends, if you have smegma every day, this is abnormal. If the foreskin is too long, it is easy for the foreskin to increase the smegma. It is also caused by unclean sex life. You should pay attention to the cleaning of the smegma. If the foreskin is too long, a circumcision should be performed.

1. Causes of increased smegma

Experts say there are many reasons for this. For example, infectious ones are often caused by unclean sexual intercourse, which may be caused by Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, fungi, Gonorrhea or other bacteria; or because of the foreskin being too long and not being clean enough, the dirt between the foreskin and the glans, that is, the smegma, will accumulate, irritating the local foreskin and mucous membrane to cause inflammation.

2. Key points for cleaning smegma

If the baby has smegma, you can wash it with a warm water basin, keep it clean and dry after urinating, apply ** ointment on the inflamed area, and take or inject it if necessary (must be treated by a doctor). If the inflammation occurs frequently, you can consider circumcision. If the foreskin opening is narrow, you can stretch the foreskin opening or circumcise it. After circumcision, the wound will be red and swollen and have secretions, which will disappear within one or two weeks.

The water temperature for bathing babies should be controlled at 38-40 degrees Celsius, which is not only to protect the baby's skin from being burned by hot water, but also to protect the scrotum from being burned. As we all know, the scrotum is the coldest part of the male body and it is most afraid of heat. High temperature will damage the sperm in the mature male testicles and affect fertility. There are no sperm in the baby's testicles at this time, but it is also necessary to prevent burns. Baby smegma should be prevented when bathing.

Physiological phimosis and circumcision. Newborn male babies will have a phenomenon of excessive foreskin, which can protect the genitals. In the first year of life when skin infections such as diaper rash are prone to occur, it can also protect the delicate glans penis from direct damage. This is called "physiological phimosis", which will gradually change when the child is about 3 years old. If the foreskin still cannot be retracted behind the glans penis to expose the glans penis after the age of 3, it is true phimosis, and then the corresponding circumcision surgery needs to be performed under the guidance of a doctor.

There are many secretory glands in the foreskin, and some oily secretions similar to bean curd residue may accumulate between the foreskin and the glans penis, forming smegma. However, parents do not need to worry or rush to clean the smegma for babies under one year old, so the baby's smegma should be treated in due time.
