Patient's question:
I accidentally swallowed the smegma from my penis while trying to clean it out. Will this cause cancer? Please help me out, doctors.Doctor's answer:
Hypospadias, where urethral secretions accumulate in the coronal sulcus of the penis, leading to the formation of smegma, easily breeds bacteria, making it prone to balanoposthitis and urethritis. While it does not directly cause cancer, it can easily lead to genital inflammation, cervical erosion, and cervical cancer in sexual partners during intercourse. There are many treatment methods for male diseases, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic approach also differs. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive targeted treatment.
