The dangers of excessive foreskin

The appearance of everyone's genitals is different, and the difference is more obvious for men because the male genitals grow outside the body and vary in shape and size. There is a layer of skin on the male genitals, commonly known as foreskin. The foreskin protects the genitals, but if the foreskin is too long, it will affect the health of the genitals and cause hidden risks of some diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to popularize the dangers of too long foreskin.

Phimosis refers to the foreskin covering the urethral opening, but can be turned up to expose the urethral opening and the glans penis, often accompanied by phimosis. This disease is related to genetics and can be divided into true phimosis and false phimosis. Patients with phimosis should undergo surgery as soon as possible. For phimosis without inflammation, surgery is not necessary as long as the foreskin is turned up and cleaned frequently.

Phimosis can be divided into true phimosis and false phimosis. True phimosis means that the glans cannot be fully exposed even after the penis is erected; false phimosis means that the glans cannot be fully exposed at ordinary times, but can be fully exposed after the penis is erected.

During puberty, the foreskin still covers the glans penis and cannot be exposed during erection, but the glans penis can be exposed when it is turned up by hand, which can be diagnosed as foreskin being too long.

It should be distinguished from phimosis. Phimosis means that the foreskin cannot be turned up and down, and the foreskin opening is very small. If the foreskin is too long, you can use your hands to turn the foreskin back to expose the glans penis.

Patients with prepuce that is too long should undergo circumcision as soon as possible. For prepuce that is not inflamed, surgery is not necessary as long as the foreskin is frequently turned up for cleaning.

For those with phimosis and prepuce that are too long, it is recommended to have circumcision before marriage. After treatment, sexual life can be resumed. For those who have not received such treatment, the local hygiene of the penis should be performed before and after sex. In addition, the local lubrication of the sexual organ should be maintained, and the movements should not be violent during sex to avoid the occurrence of incarcerated phimosis or frenulum tearing.

An excessively long foreskin is not a good thing for men, because people with an excessively long foreskin often have difficulty in having sex and are not easy to get satisfaction. The foreskin is also a place where dirt and filth accumulate easily, which can pose a hidden danger to the health of the genitals. Therefore, after understanding the dangers of an excessively long foreskin, men need to judge for themselves whether surgery is necessary.
