A married man rushed to the doctor after finding a 30-year-old buildup of smegma on his penis that made his stomach turn.
The patient was taking a shower when he felt pain in his genitals and pieces of hardened earth began to fall down the drain.
Mistaking them for kidney stones, he rushed to urologist Dr. Chen Zhaoan in Taichung City, Taiwan, to be examined.
The medical professional pulled back the man’s foreskin and stared at the disgusting collection of sickly, yellowish-brown smegma.
While Dr. Chen was cleaning the calcified scales of dirt, oil and dead skin, a bad smell began to invade the clinic on March 14.
Doctors at the hospital collected 30 years’ worth of smegma from the man and placed it in jars.
The medical professional pulled back the man’s foreskin and gazed at the disgusting buildup of sickly yellow-brown smegma, seen here inside a medical glove.
Dr. Chen Zhaoan (pictured) in Taichung City, Taiwan, believed smegma had accumulated over 30 years.
The doctor, director of Zhaoan Urology Clinic, said: “We believe this accumulation was there for 30 years. Everything broke like stone, giving off a strong smell.
‘His private parts had not been ‘active’ for 30 years. If we hadn’t found it, his partner might have discovered this ‘treasure’ first.”
The man was reported to have a fairly long foreskin, but was unable to remove it.
Dr. Chen continued, “No one seems to have told you that the foreskin can be retracted to expose the entire glans that needs to be cleaned.”
He added that he sees patients with excessive smegma buildup every two years.
The urologist urged men to clean their penis and foreskin daily with water and a little soap while showering.
He appealed to the male audience: ‘There is currently enough health information in school education and on the Internet, and the accessibility of medical resources in Taiwan is also very high.
“If you really have a problem that you don’t understand, it is recommended to seek medical advice from a specialist.”
Meanwhile, the aged smegma was sealed in a sample bottle in Dr. Chen’s office.
