Long foreskin is a common disease in men, affecting the daily lives of many patients. Many male friends have long foreskin, which can cause greater harm to the body due to not paying attention to some issues. Therefore, attention should be paid to it in daily life! Timely treatment is needed when diseases are found. So, what complications can excessive foreskin cause? Let's take a look together!
1. Risk of cancer
Prolonged foreskin and phimosis may induce penile cancer. Modern scientific research has shown that foreskin scaling is a carcinogen. According to surveys, 85% to 95% of patients with penile cancer have phimosis or excessive foreskin. "Prolonged phimosis and foreskin not only affect one's health, but also can bring foreskin dirt into the vagina, stimulating the uterus, and inducing cervical cancer if one sleeps with his wife.".
2. Inflame the penis
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 deposits in the sebum and 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 that occurs at the urethral orifice can cause narrowing of the urethral orifice after healing, causing difficulty in urination.
3. Obstructs penis development and affects sexual harmony
Phimosis can affect the growth and development of the penis. During puberty, due to the tight wrapping of the penis head by the foreskin and the lack of external stimulation, the development of the penis head is greatly constrained, resulting in a significantly smaller circumference of the crown of the penis after the maturity of the sexual organs, affecting sexual pleasure. Adults may have a long foreskin or phimosis that affects their normal sexual life. Especially for men with a small diameter of the foreskin, the upturned foreskin cannot be restored, and the foreskin is tightly stuck in the coronal groove, forming an incarcerated phimosis, causing less pain. In severe cases, glans edema may occur due to poor blood flow, and even glans necrosis may occur.
4. Impairment of renal function
Due to inflammation of the penis, it can cause stricture of the urethral orifice or anterior urethra, causing difficulty in urination. If urination is difficult for a long time, the function of the kidneys will be impaired.
