Difference 1: different symptoms
1. Symptoms of redundant prepuce
The symptoms of long prepuce refer to that the prepuce covers the urethral orifice, but can turn up and expose the urethral orifice and penis head. Long prepuce refers to the fact that when a man becomes an adult, the penis skin covers the glans, making the glans not completely exposed. Prolonged prepuce can be divided into true prepuce and false prepuce. If the true foreskin is too long, the glans can not be completely exposed after the penis is erect; The false foreskin is too long, which means that the glans cannot be completely exposed at ordinary times, but it can be completely exposed after the penis is erect.
2. Symptoms of phimosis
The symptom of phimosis is that the foreskin mouth of the penis is narrow, so that the foreskin cannot be turned over to expose the penis head. There are two kinds: congenital and acquired. Congenital phimosis refers to the adhesion between the foreskin and the head of the penis when the baby is born. After several months, the adhesion is gradually absorbed, and the foreskin and the head of the penis are separated. The separation of prepuce and penis head in most boys can continue until puberty. With the development and erection of the penis, the prepuce can shrink upward and turn outward to reveal the penis head. For children with phimosis, because the secretion is accumulated under the foreskin, often stimulating the mucous membrane will cause penile foreskin inflammation. Acquired phimosis is mostly secondary to prepuceitis of penis and injury of prepuce and penis head.
Difference 2: different hazards
The biggest harm of the long foreskin is the appearance of inflammation of the foreskin and glans caused by incomplete cleaning, and the stimulation of the foreskin may lead to premature ejaculation.
Phimosis is more harmful. First, it will cause no ejaculation. There is also a potential risk of causing pathological changes. In some patients with phimosis, if repeated urethral mouth infection occurs, it is easy to cause adhesion between the foreskin and glans mucosa, affecting the normal development of the glans, and serious glans deformity will occur.
Regardless of the difference between long foreskin and phimosis, both have a great impact on men's physical health and sexual life, and even serious cases can lead to impotence, premature ejaculation and infertility.
If the foreskin of children is too long, it can be observed for a period of time before surgery. If the foreskin of children or adults is too long and phimosis, it must be operated as soon as possible to eliminate its adverse effects on the body.
In fact, from the perspective of appearance, the difference between foreskin and phimosis is not particularly obvious, but in either case, there will be hidden dangers for the patient's health, so if it is really difficult to judge, you must go to the hospital and see a doctor, can't wait, otherwise it will lead to more inflammation, which is not worth the loss.
