White discharge from foreskin

Men should also develop good hygiene habits and clean the foreskin, glans and other areas regularly. Especially for men with long foreskin, if they do not pay attention to cleaning the foreskin, it is very easy to leave smegma inside the foreskin. Excessive accumulation of smegma will cause foreskin cancer. Some men feel itchy around the foreskin, and when they open the foreskin, they find white secretions inside. What's going on?

Causes of white dirt in the foreskin

Foreskin is too long

Because the foreskin is too long, the secretions of the sebaceous glands in the foreskin cannot be discharged, and some urine is usually retained. This causes the sebum secretions and the retained urine sediment to mix, resulting in an increase in white dirt.

Dirty sexual intercourse

In addition to the foreskin being too long, the white dirt inside the foreskin may also be due to unclean sexual intercourse causing infection with Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Trichomonas, fungi, Gonorrhea or other bacteria, leading to phimosis and glans inflammation, and ultimately causing white dirt on the foreskin.

Not paying attention to genital hygiene

In addition to the main reason for white dirt in the foreskin being too long, if you don't pay attention to the hygiene of the external genitals, it is also easy to cause white dirt. The sebaceous glands of the foreskin of some young men have abnormally strong secretions. If you don't pay attention to cleaning the external genitals, or don't turn the foreskin up when cleaning, the secretions of the sebaceous glands of the foreskin will accumulate under the foreskin, forming white dirt like tofu dregs.

What to do if there is white dirt on the foreskin

1. Clean the foreskin frequently. Generally speaking, it can be washed with clean water. It is best not to use soap or shampoo, because this will irritate the glans penis and prevent glansitis.

2. If the foreskin is too long, it should be treated promptly and circumcision should be performed if necessary.

3. Try to choose loose and comfortable pure cotton underwear.

4. Under the long-term stimulation of smegma, the foreskin and glans may develop redness, swelling, itching and other symptoms. Once such symptoms occur, go to the urology department of the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

What are the dangers of not removing smegma?

1. If the white dirt inside the foreskin is not cleaned for a long time, it is easy to suffer from urinary system diseases, such as balanitis, urethritis, etc.

2. Because the infection of smegma can easily cause prostatitis, which reduces the vitality of sperm and the viscosity of semen, and ultimately causes male infertility.
