Can the male foreskin be too long to cause balanitis? "I have relatively little knowledge about men, and when I get sick, I still wonder why I get this disease?"? For example, can a man's foreskin be too long to cause balanitis? Why is this?
The doctor from Shenzhen Kunlun Urology Hospital said:
"Balanitis and male penis foreskin are too long, of course balanitis is extremely prone to formation of foreskin scaling within the foreskin and at the coronal sulcus.". The aftereffect is caused by sebaceous secretion of the foreskin, skin desquamation, and residual urine. At the same time, the temperature at the coronal sulcus is particularly suitable for the growth of various bacteria. Once there is unclean sexual behavior, various sexually transmitted disease pathogens can proliferate and reproduce in the coronal sulcus and urethral orifice under the cover and protection of the overlong foreskin. "Such as foreskin balanitis, genital herpes, condyloma acuminatum, penis cancer, urethritis, and female cervical cancer, are all related to excessive foreskin.".
Candida can be detected in the coronal sulcus and inside the foreskin of women with recurrent persistent vaginitis. All these indicate that excessive prepuce length is one of the factors leading to the occurrence of sexually transmitted diseases, which is very harmful to human health. Therefore, it is recommended that those with excessive foreskin should be treated promptly to avoid future complications.
Kunlun doctor said that balanitis is a kind of prepuce disease with a relatively high incidence rate. He told the patients that it is mainly because of the long prepuce. Between the balanitis and the long prepuce, the shed epithelial cells, glandular secretions, and prepuce dirt form a warm and humid environment. Once bacteria enter, it can cause inflammation, which is a non-specific infection. "At the initial stage of the onset of glans and foreskin inflammation, edema and hyperemia can be seen on the glans and foreskin surfaces, redness around the urethral orifice and the appearance of wounds and erosion, and can develop into superficial ulcers with purulent secretions. The patient consciously feels itching, burning sensation, or pain at the glans of the penis.".
