There is a white substance with a strange smell on the glans

Sometimes, due to self-esteem reasons, men are reluctant to see a doctor even if they feel discomfort in their genitals. Men are very concerned about their private parts. Boys have physiological foreskin that is too long since childhood. In most boys, the foreskin retracts naturally as the penis grows naturally. However, the power of nature is limited, and it is difficult to retract the foreskin of all boys to a more ideal state, which leaves some boys with some regrets. Sometimes, some white substances with strange smell will appear on the glans. What are these white substances?

1. The foreskin is located at the front end of the penis and is a double-layer folded penile skin that covers the glans. If you turn over the foreskin, you can see the ring-shaped narrowed area behind the glans penis, which is called the coronal sulcus. There are many sebaceous glands in the skin near the coronal sulcus, which secrete a smelly secretion that is yellow-white and muddy, called "smegma".

2. The foreskin’s own secretions contain bactericidal ingredients, but due to the moist and warm environment of the foreskin cavity, bacteria can multiply more easily here. This is a question of balance. If the growth of bacteria exceeds the self-cleaning function of the foreskin, then foreskin inflammation may occur. In addition, as mentioned above, there are many secretory glands on the inner wall of the foreskin, and the secretions can act as a lubricant. The accumulation of secretions and the inability to be cleaned and removed normally will also be conducive to the reproduction of bacteria and cause foreskin inflammation.

3. It is recommended to pay attention to the cleanliness of the glans area, and then take a shower. If necessary, circumcision can be performed. After the operation, it can effectively prevent odor and infection, and can also improve the quality of sex life. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Maintain personal hygiene, exercise appropriately, keep a good mood, and have a regular diet and daily life.
