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.
