Smegma itself is not a direct cause of penile cancer, but poor hygiene leading to the accumulation of smegma may contribute to an increased risk. Chronic irritation and inflammation associated with smegma buildup can potentially lead to changes in the penile tissue. Additionally, smegma can harbor bacteria and viruses, including human papillomavirus (HPV), which is linked to penile cancer. Maintaining proper hygiene can help reduce these risks.
HPV can cause anal, penile, and head and neck cancers in males.
You can be affected by Penile cancer even if you don't or haven't had Penile cancer. For example- say their was a lady called Sue and she had a daughter called Olivia but Sue also has Penile cancer. Olivia would also be affected. It would affect her in a sad kind of way. I mean Olivia would be worried and upset. So Penile cancer can also affect those without Penile cancer just as much as it dose affect those who do have Penile cancer. So you really should not make jokes about anything to do with Penile cancer, unless everyone is OK with you making the joke and won't get upset and tell on you.
