What diseases can be caused by excessive foreskin?

What diseases can be caused by excessive foreskin? Long-term excessive foreskin may lead to repeated attacks of balanitis, and balanitis with fungi and pathogens will not heal. In addition, bacteria will be transmitted to the woman through sexual intercourse, leading to inflammation, such as vaginitis, cervicitis, adnexitis, etc. Excessive foreskin will reduce local immunity. Some data studies have shown that in this high-risk behavior, the probability of AIDS in patients is higher than that of ordinary people. Therefore, if there is a case of excessive foreskin and inflammation, it is recommended to undergo surgery in time and eliminate it as the best method and choice.

Phimosis refers to the foreskin covering the urethra opening, but can be turned up to expose the urethra opening and the glans penis. This disease is related to genetics and can be divided into true phimosis and false phimosis. Patients with phimosis should undergo surgery as soon as possible. For phimosis without inflammation, surgery is not necessary as long as the foreskin is turned up frequently for cleaning.

Causes

Phimosis is caused by genetic inheritance from parents.

Clinical manifestations

Phimosis can be divided into true phimosis and false phimosis. True phimosis means that the glans cannot be fully exposed after the penis is erected; false phimosis means that the glans cannot be fully exposed at ordinary times, but can be fully exposed after the penis is erected.

When the penis reaches puberty, the foreskin still covers the glans penis and cannot be exposed during erection, but the glans penis can be exposed when it is turned up by hand. This is because the foreskin is too long.

Diagnosis

During puberty, the foreskin still covers the glans penis and cannot be exposed during erection, but the glans penis can be exposed when it is turned up by hand, which can be diagnosed as foreskin being too long.

Differential diagnosis

It should be distinguished from phimosis. Phimosis means that the foreskin cannot be turned up and down, and the foreskin opening is very small. If the foreskin is too long, you can use your hands to turn the foreskin back to expose the glans penis.

Patients with prepuce that is too long should undergo circumcision as soon as possible. For prepuce that is not inflamed, surgery is not necessary as long as the foreskin is frequently turned up for cleaning.

For those with phimosis and prepuce that are too long, it is recommended to have circumcision before marriage. After treatment, sexual life can be resumed. For those who have not received such treatment, the local hygiene of the penis should be performed before and after sex. In addition, the local lubrication of the sexual organ should be maintained, and the movements should not be violent during sex to avoid the occurrence of incarcerated phimosis or frenulum tearing.
