Patient's question:
I recently don't know why my lower abdomen is very uncomfortable, and I also don't have morning erections anymore. Is it okay to wash the penis with soap?Doctor's answer:
Cleaning the penis! Just rinse it with clean water. Remember, don't use soap or detergent, because the glans penis naturally has a layer of mucus and mucous membrane to protect it. However, using soap and detergent can damage the mucous membrane, which may instead lead to urinary tract infections. Additionally, the scrotum has many folds, making it prone to bacterial growth! It's recommended to change underwear frequently. The underwear you take off should be soaked in 84 disinfectant for a better hygiene.
