There is a layer of white stuff on the glans

Normally, the glans of men is pink or dark red. If there is a layer of white on the glans, it may be due to excessive smegma caused by excessive foreskin. This situation indicates that men should pay attention to their physical hygiene and not wait until inflammation occurs before regretting it. If men do not pay attention to their hygiene habits for a long time, they may develop some diseases. Let's learn more about it in detail.

The white layer inside the glans is generally called smegma. It is actually a kind of sebaceous gland secreted by the foreskin. Because it has not been cleaned for a long time, it finally accumulates to form a white substance. Generally, when smegma appears, it should be cleaned immediately to prevent excessive accumulation and eventually lead to inflammation.

The white layer of stuff that appears inside the foreskin is actually smegma, which is composed of sebaceous glands accumulated due to the long-term failure to clean the inside of the foreskin. Generally, when white secretions appear on the glans, we should begin to be alert to the occurrence of reproductive system diseases such as balanitis, because long-term accumulation will breed a large number of bacteria, causing double damage to the reproductive system and urinary system. Therefore, once white smegma is found inside the foreskin, it should be removed immediately.

1. So what will happen if it is not cleaned for a long time?

1. Viral infection. There is secretion from the glans penis, partly due to unclean sexual life, which leads to infection with Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Diplococcus and even other bacteria.

2. If you have frequent urination, urgent urination, pain, or incomplete urination, and white discharge, you may initially suspect prostatitis. At this time, you will feel discomfort in the lower abdomen, perineum, and testicles. You should go to the hospital for a routine urine test. By checking the prostate fluid or urethral secretions, you can get a reasonable diagnosis and treatment in the early stage.

3. Balanitis. If the foreskin of a man is too long, smegma will be generated, which will have a foul smell. If the smegma is not cleaned up, it is easy to cause bacterial infection and balanitis. At this time, the glans of the man will also show symptoms such as redness, swelling, and itching.

Non-infectious factors are mostly due to the foreskin being too long and not being cleaned properly. The dirty matter between the foreskin and the glans penis, namely the smegma, will accumulate, affecting the local foreskin and mucous membrane and causing inflammation.

So generally there are two reasons for the appearance of white secretions inside the foreskin. One is bacterial infection, which may lead to inflammation. The second is that the foreskin is too long and is not cleaned properly. At this time, smegma will accumulate and eventually lead to inflammation. The above is the answer to the white secretions inside the foreskin. Finally, I wish the patient good health and hope my answer is helpful to you.
