How to remove smegma

The foreskin is located on the male penis and is also a part that protects the glans penis. Of course, the foreskin can also have various problems, especially if the foreskin is too long, it will lead to problems such as smegma, which will affect the health of the glans penis and other male sexual organs. The smegma can be removed by certain methods. The following will introduce the specific removal methods.

1. Clean the smegma

The only way to maintain health in daily life is to do a good job of local cleaning. The foreskin must be turned out for washing to avoid smegma and inflammation. Remember to turn it back after washing to avoid incarcerated phimosis. If urination is not smooth or there is some pain, you should go to the hospital for medical treatment immediately.

2. Circumcision surgery

Cutting off an excessively long foreskin is currently the most effective method for treating smegma, so it is recommended that patients should go to a regular medical institution for circumcision surgery.

If the foreskin is too long, it is easy to harbor dirt. The sebum secreted by the foreskin cannot be discharged and forms a smelly white "smegma" with the sediment in the urine. Smegma will irritate the glans penis for a long time, especially the coronal groove, and easily cause balanitis and glansitis. You can remove the excess foreskin through circumcision surgery, so you don't have to worry about the accumulation of smegma in the future.

Suffering from prepuce and phimosis can cause chronic stimulation from urine and smegma, which can cause edema, congestion, erosion, repeated cross infection and even foreskin incarceration, leading to serious consequences such as necrosis of the foreskin and glans. At the same time, the bacteria can also be introduced into the female body through sexual intercourse. The only way to cure it is circumcision. Phimosis requires surgery, and long-term smegma can be treated with surgery.

3. Prevention Methods

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene and wash the foreskin frequently. Generally, it is enough to wash with clean water. It is best not to use detergent because it will irritate the foreskin.

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.
