Too long foreskin is more common among men, troubling many male friends, not only children, but also adults. For adults with excessively long foreskin, if treatment is not taken as soon as possible, it will affect the normal married life and endanger the health of men for a long time. Therefore, timely treatment of excessive prepuce is required. So, what are the dangers of adult foreskin being too long? Let's take a look together.
What harm does adult foreskin have if it is too long?
Experts recommend that an excessively long foreskin refers to the fact that the foreskin covers the urethral orifice, but can be turned upside down, exposing the urethral orifice and penis head, often accompanied by phimosis. This disease is genetically related and can be divided into true and false redundant prepuces. Patients with excessive foreskin should be treated with surgery as soon as possible. For non inflammatory foreskin that is too long, as long as the foreskin is often turned upside down and cleaned, surgery may not be necessary.
Experts have pointed out that adults suffering from excessive foreskin can easily cause the following hazards if not treated promptly:
1. Triggering foreskin balanitis: The most common risk of excessive foreskin is leading to male foreskin balanitis. Due to the abundant sebaceous glands in the foreskin, a large amount of sebum can be secreted. "If the foreskin is too long, the secretion of these sebaceous glands cannot be discharged, and a strange odor of foreskin scale can form. These foreskin scales are a good area for breeding bacteria, which can easily lead to foreskin balanitis.".
2. Cause male penis: Long foreskin can also cause male penis, affecting sexual life. This is because during puberty, due to the tight wrapping of the penis head by the foreskin, there is no external stimulation at all. Therefore, the development of the penis head is greatly constrained, resulting in a significantly smaller penis after the maturation of the sexual organs, which can also affect sexual life.
3. Leading to premature ejaculation in men: Experts say that due to the fact that the glans mucosa is usually hidden under the foreskin, the glans usually receives less friction and stimulation, making the glans nerve sensation too sensitive. During male sexual life, when the penis is erect and the glans is exposed, friction and stimulation between the glans and the vagina can lead to premature ejaculation due to the delicate and sensitive mucous membrane nerves of the glans, resulting in premature ejaculation.
4. Easy to cause male infertility: It is caused by infection of foreskin scaling that causes prostatitis. It also affects the activity and viscosity of semen, reducing sperm survival rate, and can cause male infertility.
5. Damage to renal function: Prolonged foreskin can lead to foreskin balanitis. Due to inflammation of the penis, it can also cause urethral orifice or anterior urethral stricture, causing difficulty in urination. If urination is difficult for a long time, the function of the kidneys will be impaired.
6. Impact on the health of sexual partners: The reason is that foreskin dirt contains a large amount of bacteria, which can invade a woman's vagina when sexual life is appropriate, causing infection. The long-term stimulation of foreskin dirt is also one of the factors that can lead to a woman's development of cervical cancer.
Expert tips: Long male foreskins not only harm themselves, but also affect women's reproductive health. Therefore, if you have an excessively long foreskin, you must undergo foreskin surgery, and the sooner it is done, the better. Generally, it is best for children to undergo foreskin surgery before the age of 12, and adults to undergo foreskin surgery before they are unmarried.
The above is an expert introduction, which I hope can be of some help to you. Experts pointed out that although long foreskin is very common in men and is not a serious disease, male friends also need to pay attention to it. Otherwise, if the foreskin covers the penis for a long time, it will be easy to hide dirt, trigger inflammation, and affect the treatment of sexual life. Currently, the best method for treating excessive foreskin is surgical circumcision, but male friends should not choose blindly. In addition to choosing a professional hospital, they should also identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. At the same time, it is necessary to do a good job in nursing during treatment.
