Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body feels very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. What is the substance on the glans penis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, smegma is formed due to excessive foreskin or phimosis where the foreskin cannot be retracted upwards. As a result, the sebum secreted by the sebaceous glands of the foreskin accumulates in the space between the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans penis. At the same time, urine also flows into this space, reacts with the sebum, and forms smegma, which produces a foul odor. It is important to pay attention to genital hygiene to avoid other diseases.
