Among male diseases, phimosis and foreskin are too long. Many male patients are unable to distinguish between phimosis and foreskin. They do not know what disease they are suffering from. However, the ignorance of the disease and the neglect of health are often the reasons why diseases delay the best treatment time and cause unnecessary health hazards.
How to distinguish phimosis from long prepuce? Phimosis refers to those with narrow prepuce mouth and difficult to turn over the prepuce. To determine whether it is phimosis or foreskin is too long, you can determine it through self-inspection. The method is: apply soap on the penis to lubricate the inside and outside of the foreskin, fix the penis with the left hand, and push the foreskin backward and turn it over with the right hand. If the foreskin can be turned up smoothly, it is too long; If the foreskin opening is too small to turn up, it is phimosis. Most phimosis are congenital. Some of them are caused by repeated infection on the basis of long foreskin, resulting in adhesion that cannot be turned up.
How to distinguish phimosis from redundant prepuce
The phimosis is much more harmful to human body than the long foreskin. Some serious phimosis, the foreskin mouth is narrow as a pinhole, the foreskin bulges like a ball when urinating, and the urination is not smooth. Because of phimosis and urethral stricture, the bladder sphincter constricts during urination, and the internal pressure of the bladder also exceeds the pressure that the bladder Mao's sheath can bear before or at the same time overcoming the urethral resistance. The urine flows back along the ureter, and the ureter and pelvis expand, causing bacterial infection of the upper urinary tract, scar formation, and leading to secondary reflux kidney disease and even renal function damage.
After reading these differentiation methods, I hope they can help the majority of male patients. If they can't distinguish in their daily life, the simplest way is to go to a specialized hospital for a formal diagnosis, so that they can better diagnose the disease and carry out systematic and formal treatment, so that they can quickly recover their health.
