When it comes to penis health and hygiene, many people think of pictures of sexually transmitted infections or erectile dysfunction. Failure to care for this organ can also lead to other diseases that make life significantly difficult.
The effects of poor penis hygiene
The most common ailment related to the lack of proper penis hygiene is inflammation of the glans (penile head), which can occur in men regardless of age. Both young boys and seniors come to doctors with this type of disease. Symptoms may be accompanied by inflammation of the foreskin. Common symptoms include:
- swelling and redness of the foreskin and pain when sliding it off the glans (sometimes so severe that the action is impossible), sometimes also sticking the foreskin;
- redness, soreness and itching at the top of the penis;
- urethral exudate;
- pain in the entire penis, scrotum, perineum, bladder and pain when urinating.
The disease is caused, among others, by accumulation under the foreskin, the so-called mastki. It is a secretion resulting from the combination of fatty and exfoliated epithelial cells, bacterial flora, sebum, and remnants of urine and sperm. It is an ideal environment for the growth of bacteria and microorganisms, so remove the residual secretion every time you wash it.

How should the penis be washed?
Some men skip or superficially wash their penis during the toilet, and this is a serious mistake. The perineal area should be washed daily, and even more frequently in the case of active sports. Additionally, such a procedure should be performed after sexual intercourse and urination.
Penis hygiene should be started by gently drawing the foreskin away and pouring warm, running water over the organ. The direction of washing is also important — from the tip to its root. The safest way is to wash your penis with your hand. Sponges are a natural habitat for bacteria and their rough surface can irritate the delicate skin.
What products should I use to clean my intimate parts? Commonly available gels and soaps have an alkaline pH around the penis — sour. Therefore, the easiest and best solution is water. In addition, you can help yourself with special cosmetics with an appropriate reaction available on the market. They help to keep the bacterial flora in balance. In addition, they contain substances that soothe irritations, provide the skin with hydration and prevent it from drying out.
