Research has shown that excessive foreskin may lead to premature ejaculation and an increased likelihood of sexual disharmony. Therefore, do not overlook the harm of phimosis, early treatment is the best strategy.
Medical standards for judging phimosis
It should be said that the phenomenon of foreskin elongation and phimosis is more common in males. The foreskin is located in the anterior position of the male reproductive organs, tightly wrapping the penis. During childhood and adolescence, males generally have a longer foreskin that covers the entire glans penis and urethral opening. As puberty develops, the volume of the penis increases, and the foreskin retracts, exposing the glans penis and urethral opening outside the foreskin.
Phimosis refers to the condition in which the glans is completely enclosed within the outer skin of a male adult when the penis is weak; After the penis is fully erect, the glans is still not fully visible. True phimosis refers to the inability of the glans to fully expose after an erection of the penis. When trying to expose the glans, it can cause pain and make it difficult to engage in sexual activity;
As a component of the male external genitalia, the foreskin also has important physiological functions. Medicine believes that in addition to covering and protecting the glans penis, there are many secretory glands on the inner plate of the foreskin, and the secretions produced are like lubricants, which can contribute to the harmony and pleasure of sexual life. But it is also this structure that makes the foreskin cavity moist and warm, providing a good environment for bacterial survival and reproduction. If the breeding process of bacteria exceeds the self-cleaning function of the foreskin, then inflammation may occur in the foreskin. In addition, the secretion produced by the inner plate of the foreskin can provide lubrication. If the secretion accumulates continuously for a period of time and cannot be cleaned and cleared normally, it will accelerate bacterial proliferation and cause inflammatory diseases.
In particular, after urination, the last few drops of urine are not easy to drain, and tend to accumulate in the foreskin. In addition to factors such as the necrosis and shedding of cells on the foreskin and glans, it is very easy to form a yellowish white muddy substance with peculiar smell, namely smegma. If smegma cannot be completely removed, it will stimulate the prepuce and glans, causing penis inflammation. The long-term presence of local inflammation can lead to immune dysfunction in the human body. If there is unclean sexual activity at this time, it is also easy to suffer from diseases such as gonococcal urethritis.
