Experts say the dangers of an excessively long foreskin are often overlooked. In addition to themselves, if an adult male foreskin is too long, it can pose health risks to his wife, cause gynecological inflammation, and can seriously lead to cervical cancer. Therefore, men with long foreskins must pay attention to the hazards of long foreskins for the sake of their own health and the health of their partner.
There are five aspects to the harm of excessive foreskin:
1. Too long foreskin affects development
The most direct impact of excessive foreskin is the growth and development of the penis. During puberty, due to the tight wrapping of the foreskin around the penis and the lack of external stimulation, the development of the penis may be greatly constrained.
2. Prolonged foreskin destructive to life
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.
3. Prolonged foreskin causes penis inflammation
The danger of a long foreskin affects the entire penis because there are abundant sebaceous glands within 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.
4. Excessive foreskin impairs kidney health
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. This is also one of the most common hazards of excessive foreskin.
Excessive foreskin can cause cancer
Modern scientific research shows 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.". Therefore, the harm of excessive foreskin cannot be ignored.
