Smegma Symptoms: A Normal Male Complaint?
by John Dugan OwnerThe
human body is pretty masterful at cleaning itself, isn’t it? Think of all the
daily detoxifying processes that happen naturally – the kidneys, bowels, sweat
glands, lungs, and liver all work together to rid the body of unpleasant or
unhealthy waste materials. Sometimes, all that cleaning can result in a
substance that doesn’t go away on its own. Smegma is one such infamous
materials found in males. This cheesy substance is an accumulation of oil, dead
skin cells, and other bodily fluids. It’s located on the member, usually under
the sheath. If not cleaned regularly and thoroughly, smegma symptoms can become
annoying or even painful. Thankfully, it can be cleared up pretty easily at
home with a few practical tips.
Smegma Symptoms
Smegma is one of those issues that doesn't really show a lot of
variances. There are a few common smegma symptoms, which include the following:
- An unpleasant odor radiating from
the member. It will often have a sweaty, sour
fragrance.
- White and thick texture with a
cheese-like consistency. Nope, it’s not gouda.
The texture and smell of the buildup got the name “dick cheese” for just this
reason.
- Urination turns fiery and
throbbing. Some men experience a sensation of
burning and pain when they urinate, and they tend to have a greater urge to
urinate frequently.
- Irritation. When smegma is to blame, the member can get red, irritated, and
sore.
Men
who want to be certain they have smegma should see a medical professional. Once
diagnosed, follow doctor’s orders to clean things up.
Smegma Causes
So what causes smegma? When a man doesn't properly and thoroughly
wash his member (or his body, for that matter), sweat, dead skin cells and oils
can accumulate around the head, especially in men with an intact sheath. In
simplest terms, lack of a properly executed hygiene ritual will lead to smegma.
Men who don't wash for excessive periods of time are prone to an
overaccumulation of this stinky material.
While not a cause of smegma, having an intact sheath puts a man at
higher risk for having it, simply because under the sheath is the most common
place for smegma to reside. Some men choose to have their sheath removed as a
result.
Treating Smegma
How do you treat smegma? Adopt a thorough daily hygiene plan. That
means properly cleaning the member, including around and under the sheath.
Believe it or not, cleaning the member is the easiest way to remove
smegma.
Here’s a quick guide to cleaning the member to prevent smegma and
smegma symptoms:
1) Gently retract the sheath. If the smegma has hardened, it
may not be possible to pull it all the way back. Don’t force it! It can cause
pain and tear the skin, and that may lead to infection.
2) Use a gentle cleanser and warm water to wash the area that’s
typically covered by the sheath. Be gentle but thorough. If the smegma has
hardened, rub some oil on it first to loosen it up.
3) Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
4) Moisturize the member with a specially formulated male organ
health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has
been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) daily. Choose a cream
that has a natural moisturizing base like Shea butter and vitamin E. Then add
vitamins A, B, C, and D for their skin-soothing and cell regeneration
properties.
5) Repeat daily until the smegma disappears and continue to follow
this new process to prevent it from recurring.
If the smegma isn’t better after a solid week of thorough
cleaning, or if it’s getting worse, see a doctor for a clear diagnosis.
Otherwise, hit the showers!
