Hazards of foreskin and phimosis I. Inflammation of the penis
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 form urinary tract infections through the urethra. Inflammation that occurs at the urethral orifice can cause the urethral orifice to become narrow and difficult to urinate after healing.
Hazards of foreskin and phimosis II. Risk of cancer
Prolonged foreskin and phimosis may induce penile cancer. Modern scientific research indicates that foreskin scaling is a carcinogen. According to surveys, 85% to 95% of patients with penile cancer have phimosis or excessive foreskin. "The phimosis and foreskin are too long, which not only affect my health, but also bring foreskin dirt into the vagina if I sleep with my wife, stimulating the uterus, and inducing cervical cancer.".
Hazards of foreskin and phimosis: 3. Obstruction of penis development, affecting 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 upturn of the foreskin cannot be restored, and the foreskin is tightly stuck in the coronal groove, forming an incarcerated phimosis, causing less pain. In severe cases, the glans may develop edema due to poor blood flow, leading to glans necrosis.
Harms of foreskin and phimosis IV. Damage to renal function
Due to inflammation of the penis, it can cause stricture of the urethral orifice or anterior urethra, resulting in difficulty in urination. If it is difficult to urinate for a long time, the function of the kidneys will be damaged.
