White scale on the glans penis

The glans is a very important part of the male reproductive organ, and men are very concerned about their reproductive organs. Some people will find white scale on their glans in daily life. When this happens, many people will think that there is a problem with their reproductive organs or somewhere else. So what exactly is the white scale that appears on the glans of the male reproductive organ? What kind of impact will it have on their reproductive organs?

What is this white dirt?

This white scale is smegma, which is a foul-smelling substance that is harmful to the human body. If men do not pay attention to cleaning the smegma in time, long-term stimulation to the glans can easily lead to balanitis.

Where does smegma come from?

There are usually some oil glands in the inner layer of the foreskin of the male penis, which secrete a kind of oil. If the male has a foreskin that is too long or phimosis, the oil is difficult to be discharged from the outside of the penis, and thus it will continue to accumulate in the gap between the glans and the foreskin. Combined with urine residues, after a long period of accumulation, it will form white smegma with a foul smell. Smegma is the main culprit of balanitis in men. We should be alert to the long-term accumulation of smegma, and timely cleaning is the key.

What are the dangers of smegma?

Harm 1: It can cause balanitis in men. Balanitis is a common and popular male disease, and most men suffer from balanitis because they do not pay attention to cleaning the smegma for a long time, which leads to infection.

Harm 2: It will make your partner susceptible to gynecological inflammation. When men with smegma have sexual intercourse with women, it is easy for women to be infected with gynecological inflammation such as cervicitis.

Hazard three: It can easily induce penile cancer. Another important point is that smegma not only causes balanitis, but if there is smegma stimulation for many years, after years of accumulation, it is easy to cause penile cancer!

Cleaning method: If there is white scale on your genitals every day, you should pay attention to cleaning your private parts every day. You should clean it with clean water. Do not use soap or detergents with chemical ingredients to clean it, as this will accelerate the formation of smegma. Normally, smegma takes two to three days or even a week to form. It is very likely that you have white scale every day because you use soap or shower gel. If you have this habit, try to change it.
