What is foreskin?

In modern life, people are always concerned about genital problems, especially men's genital problems, which are the most common and have the greatest impact on men's lives. For example, men cannot play the corresponding roles in the life of their spouses. Most of these problems are caused by phimosis. So, what is phimosis? Let's take a look at the explanation below.

Phimosis refers to a disease in which the penis skin covers the glans penis after a man reaches adulthood, so that the glans penis cannot be fully exposed. This disease is related to genetics and can be divided into true prepuce and false prepuce. True prepuce means that the glans penis cannot be fully exposed even after the penis is erect; false prepuce means that the glans penis cannot be fully exposed at ordinary times, but can be fully exposed after the penis is erect. Phimosis means that the foreskin completely covers the glans penis, and the glans penis cannot be exposed at any time. Patients with prepuce should undergo surgery as soon as possible. For non-inflammatory prepuce, surgery is not necessary as long as the foreskin is frequently turned up for cleaning.

General hazards:

1. Incarcerated foreskin. When the foreskin turns over the coronal sulcus, the tight foreskin opening forms an incarceration ring, causing incarceration of the foreskin, causing congestion and edema of the foreskin, infection or necrosis. In adults, it is caused by masturbation and sexual intercourse. If it is not repaired in time, it is easy to block blood flow.

2. Affecting urine flow. This is due to the small foreskin opening or the adhesion between the foreskin and the glans penis. The foreskin may become phimosis due to inflammation and adhesion. When the foreskin opening is too small, it will affect urine flow. The foreskin may not necessarily have phimosis, but the phimosis can have the foreskin, and the phimosis is more serious than the foreskin.

3. Susceptible to infection: Sediment and urine scale in the urine accumulate in the foreskin and become bacterial culture media, or cause infection and inflammation due to irritation, and lead to foreskin adhesion. In severe cases, it may cause infertility.

4. Prone to sexually transmitted diseases: If the foreskin is too long or the foreskin is too long, the inner plate and the glans penis are often in a humid environment, which makes it easy to get sexually transmitted diseases such as condyloma acuminatum and gonorrhea. Moreover, because the local area cannot be thoroughly cleaned, it is easy for the wife to suffer from related gynecological diseases.
