Currently, many men suffer from phimosis. From childhood to adolescence, when the foreskin does not disappear automatically as normal, it should attract the attention of men. Phimosis refers to the fact that the opening of the foreskin is too small to cover all of the penis, while the opening of the foreskin is not small and can be turned up to reveal the penis. In the face of male genital phimosis, there are congenital and acquired phimosis on the basis of pseudophimosis and true phimosis.
Congenital phimosis can be divided into two types: atrophic phimosis, with a short and thin foreskin that tightly encloses the penis's head. The two adhere together, limiting penis development, causing discomfort or pain during erection, and affecting sexual function. If the foreskin opening and the external urethral opening are located in the same position, severe foreskin opening can cause poor urination or difficulty in urination; Hypertrophic phimosis, with thickened and overlong prepuce, causes laborious urination, and the urinary line becomes thin and bifurcated.
"Encapsulation of the foreskin: It refers to a complication of phimosis. Due to the narrowing of the opening of the narrow foreskin, the foreskin cannot be turned back and repositioned, causing blood circulation disorders in the penis head, resulting in edema of the penis head and foreskin, and unbearable pain. If not treated promptly, erosion, ulcers, and even necrosis and detachment of the penis head may occur at the stenotic site.". "Prolonged foreskin refers to the fact that the foreskin is longer than the tip of the glans and can turn out the glans. It is also a breeding base for viral bacteria. It is also a susceptible population for foreskin inflammation, condyloma acuminatum, trichomonas, genital herpes, urethritis, and foreskin stones.".
