Patient's question:
There are white secretions with a bad odor in the glans area. What medicine should be used for treatment?Doctor's answer:
The white foreign body should be smegma, which is commonly found in phimosis and excessive prepuce. The sebaceous glands of the prepuce secrete sebum, which undergoes chemical reactions to form smegma. The hazards of smegma are very significant, primarily manifested as: direct stimulation of the glans penis, inducing penile cancer; frequent inflammation of the prepuce and glans penis; long-term inflammatory stimulation can lead to the degeneration and deterioration of local tissue cells in the penis. If you have smegma, pay attention to hygiene and clean the glans penis more frequently. If phimosis or excessive prepuce is present, it is recommended to undergo a circumcision procedure, which is the most direct and effective method.
