Why is there white dirt on the foreskin?

According to clinical data, some patients have white dirt on their foreskin. And this group is growing significantly. Some patients did not take it seriously when they first discovered this phenomenon, and were too embarrassed to come to the hospital to consult a doctor. Doctors said that this situation may be caused by excessive foreskin, and the white dirt is academically called smegma. It may also be caused by not paying attention to hygiene during sexual life. It needs to be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.

Smegma is caused by the foreskin being too long. The internal secretions cannot be cleared in time, so bacteria grow and multiply there. It will cause increased secretions in the foreskin, smegma, odor, and in severe cases, local inflammation, namely phimosis. On the one hand, bacteria can retrograde and ascend to infect the urethra, prostate, seminal vesicle, epididymis and testicles, etc. On the other hand, bacteria can also be transmitted to the other party through sexual intercourse, causing female vulvitis, vaginitis, cervicitis, endometritis, etc. Therefore, from the current medical point of view, circumcision is better than no circumcision. Therefore, it is recommended that you go to the urology department of a hospital with conditions to do a circumcision.

It is recommended to go to the infectious department for a clear diagnosis to facilitate timely symptomatic treatment. It is recommended to wash the affected area with 200mL of 3% boric acid water or 0.1% levulinol solution, twice a day, each time for 20 minutes.

(1) Pay attention to local hygiene, clean the glans and foreskin every day, if the foreskin is too long, it should be treated in time, and circumcision should be performed if necessary. It is very necessary to clean the smegma in time.

(2) If one of the spouses suffers from a sexual organ disease, they should suspend sexual intercourse and seek treatment immediately. For example, if they suffer from trichomonas or Candida albicans infection, both spouses should receive treatment at the same time.

(3) Avoid unclean sexual intercourse and keep yourself clean. According to your description, this situation is glansitis. It is usually caused by local uncleanliness and infection. The local red spots are allergic phenomena. It is recommended to take fluconazole capsules, externally apply clotrimazole and other antifungal ointments, and use saline or 0.1% rivanol rinse to clean the glans penis and foreskin to remove dirt. Generally, after the symptoms disappear, continue to treat for more than 1 week. Generally, it will get better. It is caused by the chemical reaction between the sebum secreted by the foreskin and urine. In severe cases, it can cause cancer and lead to penile cancer. In mild cases, it can irritate the glans penis and cause inflammation. Pay more attention to cleaning at ordinary times. Just rinse with clean water when taking a bath. If you have foreskin that is too long, go to the local public hospital for surgery as soon as possible.

I believe that the correct treatment can help patients solve the troubles caused by this situation.
