Does excessive masturbation cause white layer of penis?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Due to continuous masturbation, my penis head became red. Also, some whitish layer has formed on it as well. Sometimes, there is even inflammation in urinating. I am going to get married within a short period, I am worried about this. Can you please advise me some medication?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Excessive masturbation does not have anything to do with your problem. It is normal to have smegma deposited over the penis and to diagnose your condition further a picture will be needed. Since you also have dysuria, I request you to get a urine routine and culture examination done. Then, some antibiotics can be started based on the sensitivity and organism causing the infection.

The Probable causes

UTI (urinary tract infection).

Investigations to be done

Urine routine examination and culture sensitivity.

Treatment plan

Antibiotics.
