What are the dangers of phimosis?

In fact, many people have phimosis, but many of them are unwilling to undergo surgical treatment for the sake of face. Phimosis actually has a great impact on the body, such as affecting the development of the penis and even hindering urination. In addition, phimosis can easily cause penile inflammation and damage.

1. Phimosis hinders the development of the penis and affects the harmony of sexual life:

Phimosis will affect the growth and development of the penis. During adolescence, the glans penis is tightly covered by the foreskin and cannot receive the proper stimulation from the outside world. The development of the glans penis is greatly restricted, resulting in a significantly smaller circumference of the glans penis crown after the sexual organ matures, affecting sexual pleasure. Adults may have normal sex life affected by excessive foreskin or phimosis. Especially for men with a small foreskin, the foreskin cannot be turned up and is firmly stuck in the coronal groove, forming an incarcerated foreskin, which is not very painful. In severe cases, the glans penis will become edematous due to poor blood flow, and even glans penis necrosis may occur.

2. Phimosis causes penis inflammation:

There are abundant sebaceous glands in the foreskin, which can secrete a large amount of sebum. When the foreskin is too long or the foreskin is too long, the secretions of the sebaceous glands in the foreskin cannot be discharged, and the sebum and the sediment in the urine are combined into the cheese-like and smelly "smegma". Smegma is suitable for bacterial growth, so it can cause inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin. The bacteria can also cause urinary tract infection through the urethra. Inflammation occurring at the urethral opening can cause the urethral opening to narrow after healing, resulting in difficulty in urination.

3. Phimosis also has the risk of causing disease:

Prepuce is too long and phimosis may induce penile diseases. Phimosis and prepuce are too long, not only affecting your own health, but also bringing smegma into the vagina if you have sex with your wife, stimulating the uterus and inducing cervical diseases.

4. Phimosis damages 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.
