Some men have phimosis problems, but they don't care. In fact, phimosis problems greatly affect men's health.
What harm does phimosis bring to men?
1. Poor urination The foreskin also covers the urethral orifice, causing poor urination. If a child urinates vigorously, urine accumulates in the foreskin groove, causing the foreskin to swell. Often, salt in the urine, combined with the accumulation of sebaceous secretions in the foreskin, can condense into small white patches that feel hard to the touch, and children often feel pain and itching. Many parents doubt whether they have a tumor.
2. Restriction of the development of the penis and penis hair. The development of the penis head is restricted after it is wrapped in foreskin. "When a physiological penis is erect, the elongation of the penis is also limited. If surgery is not performed in childhood, it can lead to a shortened penis in adulthood.".
3. According to statistics, there is a possibility of penis cancer in the future. People with phimosis have a greater chance of developing penile cancer than those without phimosis.
"Due to bacterial infection, penile and prepuce inflammation, edema, and purulent secretions can occur repeatedly, resulting in scar formation at the prepuce mouth.".
What symptoms may phimosis cause?
When many parents take their children to the doctor, they mention that when their child urinates, a small blister will first appear on the penis. This is because the foreskin orifice is narrow and cannot be discharged directly through the urethral orifice. It is first discharged into the sac between the foreskin and the penis head, and then discharged. This can lead to problems with thin urinary lines and poor urination.
"If a child's foreskin appears to have more induration (scaling) from the outside, this indicates that it may cause infection, and parents should pay attention.". When bathing a child, pay attention to observing the color of the child's foreskin. If it is often red and swollen, there may be an infection, and you should go to the hospital to see a doctor.
What are the daily health care options for phimosis
When male friends discover that they have phimosis, it is best to pay attention to cleaning the penis every day, but also pay attention to some details when cleaning every day. If you should use a special lotion, you should also turn the foreskin up to expand the foreskin and expose the penis for easy cleaning. If forcibly overturned, it must be promptly restored after cleaning, otherwise phimosis and incarceration may easily occur.
Secondly, men should also pay attention to the following points during daily care:
① "When circumcision is not performed, care should be taken to ensure the cleanliness of the local penis, and frequent washing should be performed. If the foreskin cannot be turned up, do not forcibly turn it over.". If it is possible to turn it upside down and wash it, the foreskin should be restored to its original position after washing to avoid causing incarcerated phimosis.
② If circumcision is required, the penis should be washed with warm water or a 1:5000 concentration potassium permanganate solution 3 days before the operation. In addition to paying attention to the above medication after surgery to prevent bleeding and inflammation of the penis erection, attention should also be paid to the dryness of the dressing. In case of being soaked in urine, it should be replaced in a timely manner. Generally, the suture should be removed 5-7 days after surgery.
However, when treating phimosis, a reasonable diet is also crucial.
① When circumcision is not performed, there are no special dietary health requirements;
② Within one week after circumcision, attention should be paid to eating nutritious foods such as meat, fish, and eggs to help the incision grow. It should also be noted that patients with phimosis should not eat spicy and other stimulating foods during normal times, which can promote the deterioration of the condition.
The earlier the phimosis treatment, the better
Both phimosis and redundant prepuce should be treated as soon as possible, because it is likely to become an infectious agent of urogenital system diseases, and will also bring germs to his wife. Some patients may even become cancerous, and his wife's incidence rate of cervical cancer will be far higher than that of other normal women.
