Why does the penis have a strange smell?

For many men, once they have a male disease, they will always be particularly troubled. Sometimes they are embarrassed to go to the hospital for treatment. Many men are troubled by the peculiar smell of the penis, especially in the hot summer. Such symptoms always feel particularly embarrassing. However, if you want to get a thorough treatment, you must understand the cause and then make adjustments. Let's understand what is going on with the peculiar smell of the penis.

Why does the penis have a strange smell?

Men's experts say that the smell of the glans penis is actually a common phenomenon. Many men even think it is a normal phenomenon, and some even fall into the misunderstanding that "washing is healthier". However, washing is only a temporary cleansing, and the key is to find the "root cause" and treat it accordingly.

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, when the temperature rises and sweating is more, 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 odor 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 odor of the glans penis almost all have phimosis or prepuce. Balanitis is often manifested by redness and swelling of the foreskin, burning pain, aggravated during urination, and purulent secretions flowing out of the foreskin.

The above is an introduction to why the penis has an unusual smell. After understanding it, we know that there are generally many reasons for such an imaginary hunger. Most of them are caused by the male foreskin being too long. Therefore, male friends must pay attention to their personal physiological hygiene. In addition, once symptoms such as redness and itching of the foreskin appear, they should consult a doctor in time.
