What is foreskin fissure?

Foreskin fissure is a problem that many male friends are very distressed about, and they are often ashamed to talk about it. If it is not treated for a long time, it will lead to the breeding of various diseases. In fact, foreskin fissure is likely to be caused by inflammation, and it needs to be treated in time. Male friends must fully understand and pay attention to it.

Many male friends will encounter this problem. Although the foreskin was long before, it could be turned up smoothly without any discomfort. But why after the inflammation, the foreskin opening became narrower and narrower, and could not be turned up, and there were some red cracks on the opening. In fact, this is the scar formed after the healing of balanitis, which needs the help of urologists.

1. Balanitis

Balanitis is a common inflammation in men with prepuce that is too long. It is usually manifested by redness and itching of the prepuce and the glans. In severe cases, it may break. Generally, it can be cured by external disinfectant. However, if the inflammation recurs, the skin will heal after repeated ruptures. Scars are easy to form. Such scars are hard and lack elasticity. Because such hard scars narrow the foreskin opening, the foreskin that could be turned up smoothly before cannot be turned up. When forcibly turning it up, there may be obvious pain, the scar of the foreskin opening will crack again, and even cause foreskin incarceration.

2. Pay attention to these situations

It is especially important to be vigilant. If there are repeated foreskin infections, scarring and narrowing of the foreskin opening, and red cracks on the foreskin surface, further examination is needed to check for the possibility of syphilis and diabetes. The former is a sexually transmitted disease, and there may also be symptoms of narrowing of the foreskin opening, redness, swelling and cracking of the foreskin. Once diagnosed, it requires active treatment to be cured. Diabetic patients are prone to systemic or local infections due to poor blood sugar control. At the same time, when blood sugar is high, there will be sugar components in the urine, which will become a culture medium for bacteria and microorganisms. Therefore, if there are repeated foreskin infections that do not heal, it is necessary to screen for diabetes and control blood sugar to accelerate the healing of inflammation.

Finally, if the foreskin is repeatedly infected, the foreskin opening is narrowed, and the foreskin cannot be turned up, you can go to the urology department of a regular hospital for treatment. After excluding the above diseases or controlling blood sugar, a circumcision can be performed to remove the excessive foreskin and the narrow scar, which can not only allow the glans to "see the light of day" again, but also prevent the foreskin from being infected again.
