What happens if the foreskin is too long?

The foreskin is the skin-like tissue on the male genitals. Its function is to protect the safety and health of the glans penis and prevent it from external stimulation. However, an excessively long foreskin can easily lead to some male problems and have a great impact on men's lives. Therefore, the modern medical community widely advocates timely treatment of the symptoms of an excessively long foreskin. Let's take a look at what will happen if the foreskin is too long.

1. It is easy to cause various inflammations. Although the foreskin is too long, it will not affect urination, but it can hide dirt and filth, especially the foreskin can secrete a kind of smelly white secretion, called smegma. Smegma can stimulate the glans penis for a long time, especially the coronal groove, which can easily cause balanitis and vulvitis. The ascending infection of bacteria in the foreskin cavity can also cause cystitis, pyelonephritis and prostatitis.

2. It is easy to induce penile cancer. Chronic stimulation of smegma is the cause of penile cancer. According to the survey, most of the patients with penile cancer have phimosis.

3. It is easy to cause incarcerated phimosis. When the penis is erect, the foreskin cannot be turned down after it is turned up, and the foreskin mouth is stuck on the glans penis, forming an incarcerated phimosis. At this time, the glans penis will become swollen due to poor blood flow, and in severe cases, glans penis necrosis may occur.

4. Damage to kidney function: Penis inflammation can cause stenosis of the urethra or anterior urethra, resulting in urination difficulties. Long-term urination difficulties will damage kidney function.

5. Causes premature ejaculation: Due to the excessively long foreskin, the glans penis cannot be in good contact with the outside world, resulting in high sensitivity of local nerves. Once sexual intercourse is performed, ejaculation will occur after only a few frictions. If this continues for a long time, habitual premature ejaculation will be formed.

6. It is easy to cause masturbation. The stimulation of smegma and balanitis can easily cause masturbation.

7. It can easily cause infertility. Prostatitis caused by smegma infection can affect the activity of sperm in semen and the viscosity of semen, which can cause infertility.

In addition to the hazards mentioned above, there are many other hazards of foreskin that are too long. Male friends must pay attention to it. If the foreskin is too long, you should go to a regular hospital for a circumcision surgery as soon as possible.
