Preputial sac
Preputial sac is the term applied to the space between the prepuce and the glans penis.[1] The preputial sac is lined with mucosa as is appropriate for an internal location.
Moistness is maintained by transudation. Parkash et al. (1973) reported that epithelial debris accumulates in the preputial sac and forms smegma.[2], a natural, normal, benign, healthy, and beneficial product of the body, which will collect in the preputial sac.
Parkash et al. (1982) studied the wetness to learn its source. The authors concluded "that the space is kept moist and also clean in those with preputial stenosis, by the secretions of the prostate, supplemented by the seminal secretion of the mucin content of the secretion of the urethral glands."[3]
