Introduction: Too long foreskin is a common phenomenon among men. Because of the prevalence, many men do not pay attention to it. However, too long foreskin will produce dirt and bacteria, cause balanitis, premature ejaculation, and seriously affect the healthy life of men.

Three common effects of excessive prepuce
1. Premature ejaculation
It is common to cover the glans with normal foreskin, but the glans is exposed when erecting. Because the glans mucosa is usually hidden under the foreskin, the glans mucosa is usually subject to less friction and stimulation, which makes the nerve sensation of the glans mucosa too sensitive.
2. Incarcerated prepuce
It is often seen in men with a small diameter of foreskin. The foreskin can not be turned back. The foreskin is tightly stuck in the coronary groove, resulting in incarcerated phimosis, which is not very painful. In severe cases, the glans will have edema due to poor blood flow, and even glans necrosis may occur.
3. Prolonged prepuce causes penis inflammation
There are abundant sebaceous glands in the foreskin, which can secrete a large amount of sebum. When phimosis or foreskin is too long, the secretion of sebaceous glands in the foreskin can not be discharged. The sebum and sediment in the urine synthesize cheese-like and smelly foreskin scale, which can stimulate the penis for a long time and cause inflammation.

Daily health care for redundant prepuce
Generally, when circumcision is not performed, attention should be paid to the local cleanliness of the penis in nursing. Wash frequently. If the foreskin cannot be turned up, do not force it to turn over. If it can be turned up, after washing, restore the foreskin to its original position to avoid incarcerated phimosis.
1. Daily basic health care
Popularize health knowledge, educate children and teenagers not to play with the penis at will, and newlyweds should learn relevant knowledge before marriage. Patients with redundant prepuce or phimosis should be circumcised. In case of incarcerated phimosis, manual reduction shall be carried out immediately, and those who fail in manual reduction shall be operated in time to prevent penis necrosis.
2. Maintain personal hygiene
Develop the good habit of cleaning the penis, remove the foreskin scale in time, and keep the coronal groove clean. When taking a bath, the foreskin should be turned back, and then the scale of the foreskin should be removed. The foreskin and glans should also be gently washed with clean water, and should not be in direct contact with the bath product.
3. Standardize urination
Every time you urinate, try to turn the prepuce up to expose the urethral orifice to avoid infection caused by residual urine.
4. Healthy sex life
The range of sexual activity should not be too intense to avoid prepuce injury or tear.
