The foreskin is located in the anterior position of the male reproductive organs, tightly enveloping the penis. It is not only an important component of the male reproductive organs, but also has important physiological significance. Phimosis refers to when the penis is in a weak state, the glans is completely enclosed within the outer skin, and the penis is fully erect; The condition where the glans is still not fully visible.
We say that besides erectile dysfunction (ED) and ejaculation disorders, which pose a high risk to male reproductive health, phimosis and phimosis are another common and frequently occurring disease. On average, one in five males has phimosis and one in 20 males has phimosis.
The foreskin is located in the anterior position of the male reproductive organs, tightly enveloping the penis. It is not only an important component of the male reproductive organs, but also has important physiological significance. Phimosis refers to when the penis is in a weak state, the glans is completely enclosed within the outer skin, and the penis is fully erect; The condition where the glans is still not fully visible. Phimosis is a disease where the opening of the foreskin is too narrow, preventing the penis and glans from being exposed outside the foreskin.
1、 Hazards:
Although phimosis and phimosis are minor complications in male diseases, their widespread incidence makes them common and poses great harm, which cannot be underestimated. Patients with phimosis often accumulate in the foreskin after urination, as well as factors such as necrosis and shedding of cells and secretions on the surface of the foreskin and glans, contamination and reproduction of the rectum and perineum, In a warm and humid environment, it is very easy to form a white film like substance - smegma. If smegma is not thoroughly cleaned for a long time, it will stimulate the prepuce and glans, and eventually lead to other diseases, such as balanitis, prepuce stones, leukoplakia caused by pigment shedding of the prepuce, premature ejaculation and penis cancer, chronic inflammation in local areas, immune dysfunction, and sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea and condyloma acuminata are more likely to be contracted through unclean sexual life, According to relevant data statistics, patients with phimosis are dozens of times more likely to develop penile diseases than normal individuals.
Phimosis poses greater harm and can sometimes lead to phimosis and incarceration. When the opening of the phimosis is not very small, the penis is erect, and the glans is occasionally exposed. However, the narrow foreskin can become trapped in the coronal sulcus of the penis like a ring, causing local blood circulation disorders and causing ischemic necrosis of the embedded distal tissue, which can cause serious consequences. In addition, prepuce can also induce anorectal prolapse, hernia, urinary retention, hydronephrosis and other diseases.
Impact on sexual partners:
Phimosis and phimosis are like a double-edged sword, which not only seriously endangers the health of male patients, but also can harm women through sexual activity. Including being brought into a woman's vagina during sexual activity, it can cause vaginitis, cervicitis, long-term stimulation, and can also induce penile cancer in women.
2、 Treatment:
After suffering from phimosis and phimosis, the clinical manifestations are mostly localized inflammation, which repeatedly forms smegma and can have a strange smell. Therefore, some patients will take some antibiotics and external cleaning on their own. Although this method of treating symptoms but not the root cause can quickly control the inflammation, the above symptoms will reappear after a period of time. Moreover, due to the resistance to antibiotics, the use of antibiotics can often worsen the condition of balanoposthitis caused by fungal infections. Therefore, for patients with phimosis and phimosis, it is necessary to thoroughly eliminate the excessive foreskin or phimosis through surgery on the basis of cleaning and anti-inflammatory treatment. This is currently a more effective method.
3、 Surgical indications:
1) Phimosis
2) Recurrent balanoposthitis, phimosis, and other complications.
3) Intractable premature ejaculation that cannot be controlled by medication or other methods.
4) The smegma and peculiar smell are obvious, and they are impatient and insist on cleaning.
5) The methods for circumcision of the foreskin include:
1. Laser resection
2. Surgical resection
3. Modified surgical resection
4、 Plastic surgery for foreskin and phimosis:
Phimosis and phimosis are common problems among many men. One in five male citizens has a foreskin that is too long, and one in 20 has a phimosis. Suffering from phimosis and phimosis can cause swelling, congestion, erosion, and repeated cross infection of the mucous membrane of the foreskin and glans due to long-term chronic stimulation of urine and smegma, leading to balanitis, adhesions, stones, and even incarceration of the foreskin, leading to severe consequences such as necrosis of the foreskin and glans. At the same time, various bacteria can also be brought into the female body through sexual intercourse, leading to female vaginitis, cervicitis, cervical erosion, pelvic inflammatory disease The occurrence of diseases such as endometritis and cervical cancer. Seriously endangering the lives and health of female compatriots. Modern medical civilization will no longer allow foreskin elongation and phimosis to ravage human health for a long time, and it must be highly valued by male citizens. The only method for radical treatment of phimosis and phimosis is surgical treatment.
Male infants with phimosis or phimosis should be treated with caution: Children with phimosis or phimosis are naturally present. When a child starts normal metabolism and secretion after birth, phimosis or phimosis has a certain impact on urination, especially during phimosis, the foreskin will bulge like a balloon during urination. After urination, there is often a small amount of urine left in the foreskin cavity, combined with accumulated sebum secretion and epithelial desquamation, It will gradually form massive smegma, which is a good place for bacteria to grow.
