Off-White, Clumpy Male Organ Sludge: The Difference
Between Smegma and a Yeast Infection
You know there is something wrong with your dingle. It’s irritated and
coughing up off-white, stinky, clumpy, cottage-cheesy discharge. From
everything you’ve read, it could be smegma. But wait, it also seems like it
could be a yeast infection. You didn’t even know dudes could get those.
How do you tell the difference? There are a few subtle hints, but let’s learn
about each, first.
What Is Smegma?
Smegma is the body’s way of cleaning itself up. In this case, in the
midsection. Smegma is an accumulation of dead skin cells, oil, and other
fluids on the tip of the male organ. This buildup accrues over time, getting
more inflamed and funkier until it’s fiery and causing problems.
Smegma presents itself as a thick, off-white, foul-smelling cheese-like paste
that forms on the head of the male organ and under the prepuce. Smegma
overgrowth comes from one thing and one thing only – a lax attitude toward
personal hygiene. If a man doesn’t shower often or thoroughly, he can find
himself with an overgrowth of smegma. It is most common in uncircumcised
men; however, anyone, including women, can have it.
What Is a Yeast Infection?
Candida, which is a type of yeast, is present in all bodies. It has a particular
affinity for warm, moist, dark places, like the inner realm of a man’s
midsection. Candida is present in the body’s bacterial flora, which keeps
body ecology intact. However, an overgrowth of candida can throw it all offtrack and result in a yeast infection.
Men are less likely to get yeast infections than women; however, they can
still get them. Moreso when a man has diabetes, due to the excess of sugar a
man has in the urine, or when a man still has his prepuce. Men can get yeast
infections in several ways that range from being in a humid environment to
antibiotic use to relations with a woman who has a yeast infection.

A yeast infection will produce an off-white, cheesy discharge like smegma.
It will, too, include irritation, redness, and a potential rash.
How Do the Symptoms Differ?
Smegma and a yeast infection seem to have a lot in common, but generally,
there are a few ways to differentiate them, but it’s in the details. Here are a
few things to look for.
A yeast infection:
 Will have a greater itch-factor
 Will cause a greater urgency to urinate frequently, without much urine
being produced
 Will spread to other areas fairly quickly
 Generally, will be more inflamed and painful than smegma
overgrowth
 Will appear soon after having sensual contact with a woman
Treatment
If a man has smegma overgrowth, the only thing he can do is wash, wash,
and wash again. If the prepuce is having trouble retracting or going back into
place, however, go immediately to the emergency room for assistance as
phimosis and paraphimosis are severe issues. Smegma will eventually go
away with regular, thorough washing.
If a man has a yeast infection, he will want to get an OTC or prescription
antifungal cream to stop the infection, but it can take up to 3 weeks to clear
up the infection. The oral medication fluconazole is the most effective
means to clear up a yeast infection, often dissolving it in 5 days or less.
While treating whichever issue a man has, he should refrain from sensual
activity until all is back to regular working order.
An excellent way to keep a male organ clean and fresh is to use a specially
formulated male organ health oil (health professionals recommend Man 1
Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) in
addition to daily washing and drying. The Shea butter and vitamin E lock in
moisture while calming the skin. Vitamin A scares off bacteria, and healthy

doses of alpha lipoic acids keep the male organ young and robust. Use once
or twice daily for best results.
