How To Keep The Genitals Clean?

Posted on Wed, 29 Jul 2015

Question: i retracted my foreskin as much as possible which is not that much and cleaned with soap and warm water 5 times. Does that mean my foreskin is fully clean inside out of any semen. Thanks

Brief Answer:
Washing once is sufficient to keep your penis clean

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. If you cleaned your penis with soap and water after retracting the foreskin 5 times then it is completely clean and unlikely to contain any semen.

2. Cleaning by the above method once is sufficient and doing it 5 times is not required.

3. There should be no need to worry about your cleaning process and please be reassured.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Hi XXXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.

1. If you cannot retract the skin then the semen also will not get inside.

2. Cleaning 5 times with soap and water is more than enough.

3. The answer is the same and you are clean.
