"What Could Be the Cause of White Substances Found Underneath the Unfolded Foreskin?"

Update Date: Source: Network

Male foreskin turning over reveals white substances, mainly smegma, which contains a large amount of epithelial tissue and dirt. If not cleaned in time, it can lead to balanitis. When male foreskin is inflamed, smegma will increase significantly. It is necessary to clean it in time to keep the foreskin clean and hygienic. Iodine solution can also be used for disinfection. If a male has excessively long foreskin or phimosis, circumcision can be performed to reduce the risk of disease.

If there is white matter when the foreskin is turned over, it is mostly smegma. If there is a lot of white substance after the foreskin is turned over, it is considered as smegma. Smegma is formed by the epithelial tissue shed from the glans penis and foreskin, mixed with the secretions of the foreskin glans penis. It is common in patients with excessively long foreskin or phimosis. Especially when patients develop secondary glans penis balanitis, the secretions will increase significantly, and smegma will also increase significantly.

What should be done if there is white matter when the foreskin is turned over? Therefore, for patients with excessively long foreskin or phimosis, if there is a large amount of smegma for a long time, it is necessary to clean it up. If there is inflammation, povidone-iodine solution can be used for disinfection. For patients with excessively long foreskin and phimosis, the most effective way to avoid glans penis balanitis is circumcision, which removes the excessively long foreskin and exposes the glans penis, significantly reducing the risk of inflammation.
