Long foreskin and phimosis are common problems for many men. In adult males, the foreskin has a narrow opening, and the foreskin adheres to the penis head. The foreskin cannot be turned over, and the urethral opening and penis head are exposed.

So what's the harm of foreskin? What should I do?

What is the harm of a man's excessively long foreskin?

Obstruction of penis development affects sexual harmony

"Phimosis can affect the growth and development of the penis. During puberty, the penis is wrapped in foreskin and cannot receive external stimulation. The growth of penis hair is greatly constrained. After sexual organ maturation, the circumference of the crown of the penis is significantly smaller, affecting sexual pleasure. Adult foreskin is too long or phimosis affects normal sexual life.". Especially in men with a small diameter of the foreskin, the foreskin cannot be restored, and the foreskin is tightly stuck in the coronary groove to form an incarceration. In severe cases, the glans may become swollen due to poor blood flow, and even become necrotic.

Recurrent episodes of urinary tract infection

There are abundant sebaceous glands in the foreskin that can secrete a large amount of sebum. "When the phimosis or foreskin is too long, the secretion of the sebaceous glands within the foreskin cannot be discharged, and the sebum and uric acid in the urine synthesize a cheesy and odorous" foreskin scale ".". Scald on the foreskin is suitable for bacterial growth and can cause inflammation of the penis and foreskin. Germs can also cause urinary tract infections through the urethra. Inflammation of the urethral orifice, stricture of the urethral orifice after healing, and difficulty urinating.

Excessive foreskin can cause cancer

Prolonged foreskin and phimosis may induce penile cancer. Modern scientific research shows that foreskin scale is a carcinogen. According to a survey, 85% - 95% of patients with penile cancer are due to phimosis and excessive foreskin. "Prolonged phimosis and foreskin not only affect one's health, but also cohabit with one's wife, causing recurrent episodes of gynecological inflammation.".

What to do if the foreskin is too long

Men with phimosis and overlong foreskin should be treated with surgery at the hospital as soon as possible. The non inflamed foreskin is too long and does not require frequent cleaning of the foreskin, nor does it require surgery. If there is inflammation in the foreskin that cannot be operated on early, the vulva should also be kept clean. Wash the penis once a day, do not flip the foreskin with your hands, do not apply drugs indiscriminately, and do not be credulous of any "prescription". Please go to the hospital in a timely manner and ask a doctor for treatment. After the inflammation disappears, perform the operation again.
