Will foreskin edema heal on its own?

Many boys now particularly like sports. There are many boys who have long foreskins but have not undergone circumcision. In the process of sports, the foreskin rubs against underwear or does not pay attention to personal hygiene. Even some boys do not understand sexual knowledge during puberty and have long-term unclean sex. These problems may cause foreskin edema. So, can foreskin edema heal itself? Let's take a look at this question together!

1. There are many reasons for foreskin edema after sex, but the most common ones are phimosis or prepuce is too long. As we all know, the skin of the male penis is very thin. The skin at the head of the penis is folded inward to form a double layer, covering the penis, which is called prepuce. Prepuce is too long means that the foreskin cover has no urethral opening, but can still be turned outward to expose the urethral opening and the glans penis. If the foreskin opening is narrow or adheres to the head of the penis, so that the foreskin covering the penis cannot be turned up to expose the urethral opening and the head of the penis, it is called phimosis.

2. The skin and subcutaneous tissue of the foreskin are loose, and there are abundant blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in it. It is the end of the body's circulation, so the blood and lymph return at a relatively slow rate, and it is a part that is prone to edema. During sexual intercourse, as the sexual intercourse proceeds, the foreskin is constantly impacted by the upward force, which is particularly obvious when suffering from phimosis or prepuce is too long. In this way, the penile skin is stimulated by severe friction, resulting in poor venous return and edema. In severe cases, it can also cause incarcerated foreskin, which needs to be reset in time to avoid necrosis.

3. In addition, when the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs, the glans penis is prone to accumulating dirt, which together with the secretions of the glands inside the foreskin forms smegma. The accumulation of smegma can cause balanitis or glans penis inflammation. Over time, the inflammation will shrink the foreskin opening and form adhesions with the glans penis, which will lead to acquired phimosis. After suffering from inflammation and adhesions, the chances of edema of the foreskin after sexual intercourse are even greater.

The above introduces some questions about whether foreskin edema can heal itself. We all know that if foreskin edema is not paid attention to in time, it may develop into diseases such as balanitis after a long time, which may lead to more serious consequences. Therefore, men must pay attention to changes in all aspects of their body in time.
