Study Notes
Hygiene and Sexual Activity
- Smegma is a thick, white secretion composed of dead cells, oils, and other debris that accumulates under the foreskin in uncircumcised men.
- Uncircumcised men should pull back the foreskin regularly to clean the area, as smegma can cause irritation and increase the risk of infection.
- Circumcised men still need to maintain good hygiene by cleaning the penis, especially under the glans, to prevent bacterial buildup and infection.
- Women engaging in anal sex should clean the anus and surrounding area thoroughly before and after sexual activity to prevent bacterial transmission and infection.
- Cleaning genitals before and after sexual activity is crucial to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and to maintain overall genital health.
