What to do if the foreskin has an odor

Today we are going to understand what to do if the foreskin has an odor. Foreskin odor is a phenomenon that many male friends have experienced. Every male's foreskin has some odor to a greater or lesser extent, but some men have a heavier odor, while some men have a lighter odor and are not easy to detect. Let's take a look and learn some relevant knowledge about male foreskin odor, see where this odor comes from, and how to solve it.

1. Symptoms of peculiar smell in foreskin

The main reason for the foreskin to have a bad smell is that the foreskin cannot be turned up when the foreskin is too long or 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 become smegma, which produces a strange smell. The foreskin has a bad smell that not only affects men's physical health, 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 to perform a circumcision, which is incomparable to the use of any medication. In addition, patients should pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness, change clothes and pants frequently, and keep the genitals dry and ventilated.

2. How to prevent foreskin odor

The glans penis has a bad smell, which is a common symptom in men. It is usually seen in men with prepuce that is too long. The prepuce is too long, so the secretions of the prepuce cannot be discharged. A large amount of it accumulates in the prepuce cavity, producing smegma. Therefore, the accumulated smegma produces a bad smell. Especially in summer, the temperature rises, sweating is more, and the humid environment of the prepuce cavity makes bacteria multiply faster. If you don't pay attention to the hygiene of the prepuce, the bad smell of the glans penis will be stronger. The bad smell of the glans penis is mostly caused by balanitis, which is a common reproductive infection disease. It is divided into balanitis and glansitis. Because they appear at the same time, it is called balanitis. Clinical patients with bad smell of the glans penis almost all have phimosis or prepuce that is too long. Symptoms of balanitis are redness and swelling of the foreskin, burning pain, which worsens during urination, and purulent secretions may flow out of the foreskin.

3. Harm of having a strange smell in the foreskin

Prone to various inflammations: Although the foreskin is too long and does not affect urination, it can hide dirt and filth, especially the foreskin can secrete a kind of smelly white secretion, called smegma. Smegma can stimulate the glans penis for a long time, especially the coronal sulcus, which can easily cause balanitis and vulvitis. The ascending infection of bacteria in the foreskin cavity can also cause cystitis, pyelonephritis and prostatitis. Prone to penile cancer: Chronic stimulation of smegma is the cause of penile cancer. According to surveys, most penile cancer patients have phimosis. Prone to masturbation: The stimulation of smegma and balanitis can easily lead to masturbation. Can easily affect sex life: recurrent balanitis can easily lead to adhesion between the glans penis and the foreskin, restricting penile erection and causing pain during sexual intercourse. This can not only cause sexual disharmony between couples, but can also lead to psychogenic sexual dysfunction.

4. It can easily cause infertility

Can easily cause infertility: Prostatitis caused by smegma infection can affect the activity of sperm in semen and the viscosity of semen, which can cause infertility. Can easily cause incarcerated phimosis: When the penis is erect, the foreskin cannot be turned down after turning up, and the foreskin mouth is stuck on the glans penis, forming an incarcerated phimosis. At this time, the glans penis will edema due to poor blood flow, and in severe cases, the glans penis may die. Can easily affect women's health: Since smegma contains a large number of bacteria, it can invade the woman's vagina during sexual intercourse and cause infection. Long-term stimulation of smegma is also one of the factors that cause women to suffer from cervical cancer. Therefore, it is recommended that you pay attention to hygiene, clean the inside and outside of the foreskin with warm water every day, especially the hygiene care before and after intercourse, and go to the hospital for circumcision as soon as possible to reduce the inducement of disease. I wish you good health!

The above is all about the foreskin odor. In fact, the foreskin odor is mainly caused by the male foreskin being too long. In particular, some men do not pay attention to their own cleanliness, are careless when taking a bath, and do not turn over the foreskin and clean it thoroughly, causing bacteria to hide in the foreskin and multiply in large numbers, causing the odor. Therefore, to alleviate the phenomenon of foreskin odor, you need to start with yourself and keep your private parts clean.
