Patient's question:
[When I shower every day, I use soap or shower gel to clean the foreskin. What effect does this have? How should it be cleaned?]Doctor's answer:
Hello, smegma is commonly found in patients with phimosis or excessive prepuce. Generally speaking, it is best to retract the prepuce and clean it with clean water, then apply some anti-infective ointment, such as erythromycin ointment, for symptomatic treatment, which is more reliable. After the inflammation subsides, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital as soon as possible to undergo a circumcision procedure to completely prevent this situation from occurring in the future. It is suggested that you visit the urology department of the hospital for diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of a doctor to achieve a complete cure. Additionally, from the perspective of preventing infection and improving sexual quality of life, circumcision should be performed as early as possible.
