If you open the foreskin when you are washing the dingding, you will find that there is some yellowish or white tofu-like substance where the inner surface of the foreskin meets the ding ding's head.
It is important to note that this greasy and greasy dirt is called "smegma", which is often referred to as "urine alkali", and is a chemical carcinogen.
01
How is "tofu-dregne" smegma formed?
Boys generally do not bring paper to the toilet, just shake after using the toilet, and this behavior has become an international practice.
Although boys' urethra is longer than that of girls, and even if they are not rubbed, they are generally not easy to cause infection, but one or two drops of urine left on Ding Ding can easily flow into the foreskin.
At this moment, the sebaceous glands of the foreskin are also secretly secreting sebum. In a hot and humid environment, the combination of sebum and urine mixes with a large number of bacteria, forming patches of dirt like "yellow-white tofu residue".
02
What are the dangers of smegma?
If you haven't bathed for a long time, or if you don't pay attention to cleaning the lower layer of the foreskin when bathing, the smegma around Ding Ding will accumulate thicker and thicker, which will not only produce a strong foul smell, but also have the following harm to the human body:
1. The environment where the smegma is located is easy to stimulate the foreskin and is conducive to the growth of bacteria, which can cause urinary infections, such as balanitis of the foreskin.
If the inflammation is severe, the foreskin and penis are prone to extensive adhesions, which can aggravate the symptoms. Balanitis of the foreskin can also cause other inflammations of the urinary system, such as urethritis.
2. Indirectly cause penile cancer. Studies have shown that about 90% of patients with penile cancer have a history of long foreskin or phimosis. This is the result of the presence of smegma over a long period of time, which causes the normal tissues and cells of the penis to become cancerous.
3. Because smegma contains a large number of bacteria, after sexual life, it may cause the woman to suffer from gynecological diseases. In addition, smegma can increase a woman's risk of cervical cancer.
4. If the foreskin and glans are adhered due to the accumulation of smegma, it may lead to erection and painful intercourse, which will affect the quality of sexual life.

How can I reduce smegma production?
Since smegma is a hazard, is there a way to make smegma disappear completely, or reduce smegma formation?
Most men will develop smegma, so there's nothing too much to worry about. Just do a good job of cleaning the dings every day.
Proper washing, under normal circumstances, when showering every day, turn the foreskin upside down and rinse off the dings with warm water. However, during the cleaning process, you should not choose a soap or shower gel that is too alkaline, otherwise it will cause irritation to the tint.
In addition, after exercising and popping, you should also pay attention to the cleanliness and dryness of Dingding, and in daily life, you should also wear loose and breathable cotton underwear, wash and change frequently.
In addition, for elderly patients with phimosis foreskin, there is also a more "once and for all" method, which is to do circumcision to expose the glans penis.
It is worth reminding that if you have unclean sex, it may lead to an infection of the tintin, which can cause redness, swelling or stinging, and an increase in smegma as a result. Once this situation is discovered, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in a timely manner and actively treat it under the guidance of a doctor.
