What are the dangers of men having too long foreskin?

Many men have foreskin that is too long, but many of them do not take it seriously because they think it is something private and do not fully understand its harm. Foreskin can increase the risk of cancer, cause premature ejaculation, affect the development of the penis, and so on. These are the more common harms.

The dangers of male foreskin being too long

1. Increased cancer risk

Modern scientific research shows that smegma is a carcinogen. According to investigations, 85%-95% of penile cancer patients have prepuce or phimosis. Prepuce and phimosis patients not only affect their own health, but also bring smegma into the vagina after having sex with their wives, stimulating the uterus and inducing cervical cancer in women.

2. Impact on the development of the penis

Foreskin that is too long can also affect the normal development of the male glans. For some patients with foreskin, if they have repeated urethral infections, it is easy to cause adhesion between the foreskin and the glans mucosa.

3. Leading to premature ejaculation

Since the glans mucosa is usually hidden under the foreskin, it is less rubbed and stimulated, making the nerves of the glans mucosa overly sensitive. After erection, the glans is exposed, and when the glans and the vagina are rubbed and stimulated, the glans mucosa nerves are overly sensitive, triggering premature ejaculation. If women are not satisfied, men begin to "surrender", which often affects the harmony of sexual life.

What are the reasons for men's foreskin to be too long?

1. The male foreskin lacks elasticity. If the foreskin opening is naturally narrow, it is easy to have the phenomenon of foreskin being too long.

2. The male penis lacks the energy to grow upward, and the growth of the penis is much slower than the growth rate of the foreskin, resulting in foreskin being too long.

The male penis is invaded by bacteria, causing the penis to shrink and tighten, resulting in prepuce being too long. The penis shrinks and tightens when invaded by bacteria, just like the human body shrinks into a ball when it feels cold. When the penis is damaged by a virus, it shrinks as a self-protective reflex, especially when the prepuce is too long and the environment of the foreskin is a breeding ground for bacteria, causing the penis to shrink and aggravating the condition.

Congenital adhesion of the glans penis, acquired adhesion of the glans penis or balanitis can all cause prepuce redundancy.

The foreskin of the penis may become adhered due to traumatic hematoma, or scars may form after the burn heals, which increases the pulling force on the foreskin and makes it impossible to turn the foreskin up and expose the glans penis.
