What are the dangers of excessive foreskin?

Phimosis can be detected in young boys. Both children and adult men have great harm in this regard. It usually affects the normal urination of men, produces the smegma, a substance that smells bad, and in severe cases can cause balanitis of the glans penis, affecting men's sexual life.

The dangers of excessive foreskin in adults

1. Hindering the development of the penis: During adolescence, the glans penis is tightly covered by the foreskin and cannot receive the proper external stimulation. 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.

2. Causes penis inflammation: There are abundant sebaceous glands in the foreskin, which can secrete a large amount of sebum. An excessively long foreskin will prevent the secretion of the sebaceous glands in the foreskin from being discharged, and the sebum and the sediment in the urine will synthesize into the cheese-like and smelly "smegma". Smegma is suitable for bacterial growth, so it can cause inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin.

3. 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.

4. Causes premature ejaculation: Due to the excessively long foreskin, the glans penis cannot be in good contact with the outside world, resulting in a 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.

The harm of excessive foreskin in children

1. Children's foreskin is too long, which often completely covers the urethra, so that urination is not complete, and there is often a small amount of urine residue in the foreskin cavity. In addition, young children wear open-crotch pants, and the foreskin and urethra are often contaminated by the outside world. The foreskin and urethra are prone to inflammation and adhesion, which aggravates urination difficulties. Such children have difficulty urinating every time, and the foreskin cavity is swollen. They often have complications such as foreskin cavity stones, urinary tract infections and other serious complications.

2. Excessive foreskin will affect the growth and development of the penis. During puberty, the glans penis is tightly covered by the foreskin and cannot get the proper stimulation from the outside world. The development of the glans penis is greatly restricted, resulting in the circumference of the glans penis crown being significantly smaller after the sexual organ matures. This can cause children to develop depression, inferiority complex and other negative psychological diseases. Therefore, the harm of excessive foreskin in children is very great.

3. 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.
