What is the reason for white discharge from the penis?

Many men do not pay much attention to their reproductive health, but the reproductive parts are also susceptible to diseases. For example, the common smegma, or the influence and damage of candidal balanitis, may cause white discharge from the penis.

1. Smegma If the foreskin is too long and is not frequently washed, the inner layer of the foreskin and the epithelium that falls off the surface of the glans penis will accumulate in the foreskin sac to form white smegma. Especially for teenagers who do not know how to wash since childhood, once the penis is erect and the foreskin is turned back for the first time, they will suddenly see a layer of white "tofu dregs" that has accumulated for many years on the surface of the glans penis. They are shocked and rush to see a doctor. The smegma may have dried up like white armor.

2. Candida balanoposthitis The glans is a common site for Candida, especially those with prepuce that is too long. Candida balanoposthitis is common, with local redness, swelling, itching, and "white residue". Possible 3: Over-cleaning Men often wash the vulva excessively due to cleanliness, scrubbing the glans mucosa to make it extremely thin, tender, red, swollen and uncomfortable. Within a few days, the new epithelium on its surface forms a layer of white film, which is often misdiagnosed as candidiasis by doctors. Patients are also more enthusiastic about scrubbing, and it does not heal for a long time.

3 In fact, as long as you stop scrubbing and wait for the white epithelium to age and return to the normal glans mucosa, this "disease" will heal itself. You only need to rinse the vulva with clean water on weekdays. You don't need to wash it frequently, and you don't need to scrub it with various cleaning agents or medicines, otherwise it will do more harm than good.

4 Therefore, male patients with prepuce that is too long must undergo surgical treatment, as prepuce that is too long is not good for the patient. And keep the glans clean and the genitals dry at ordinary times. If the disease occurs, it should be treated in time, and you can go to the hospital for examination when necessary.
