What is the cause of the foreskin smell?

Nowadays, many male friends are worried about their private health problems. The most common problem among men is the smell of foreskin. I believe that many male friends will find that their foreskin has some unpleasant fishy smell. What is the reason? What is the reason for the smell of foreskin? Let's take a look!

Experts point out that the main reason for the odor of the foreskin is that the foreskin cannot be turned up when the foreskin is too long, so 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 odor of the foreskin not only affects the health of men, but also affects all aspects of daily life. The sebaceous glands of the foreskin secrete sebum. Therefore, the most direct and effective treatment method is surgery, which is incomparable to the use of any medication.

In addition, patients should pay attention to hygiene, change clothes frequently, and keep the genitals dry and ventilated.

Many patients may have doubts, asking: Will circumcision affect the sexual sensitivity of the penis, or even the fertility in the future? Expert answer: A special research report shows that after the operation, many men's sexual sensitivity will be much stronger than before the operation because the glans penis and frenulum are exposed to the outside. This phenomenon can explain why some people have a significant increase in the number of penile erections after circumcision. When the excessively long foreskin is removed, the probability of male genital lesions can be greatly reduced. It has no effect on fertility and can also prevent urinary tract infections such as glansitis and prostatitis caused by excessive foreskin.

Through the above introduction, we basically understand that there are two reasons for the foreskin to have an odor: one is because the foreskin is too long, it is easy to accumulate too much dirt inside, causing the odor; the other reason may be because the private parts of the individual are not clean enough. In addition to washing and changing the foreskin frequently, patients should also go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.
