How to clean foreskin

The male penis is an area with many skin wrinkles. If you don't pay attention to cleaning, bacteria, dirt, and semen may hide in this area. Over time, it may cause infection and inflammation. The smell will also be pungent and very embarrassing, so it must be cleaned properly. So, how to clean the foreskin when it is too long?

Clean the foreskin with cold water. When cleaning the foreskin, men should push the foreskin back to expose the glans, and use cold water to carefully clean the dirt and other debris in the folds. And because the glans of the penis is relatively sensitive, try not to use shower products to clean it, so as to avoid irritation to this area, causing itching and discomfort.

Men should clean the foreskin every day when they take a shower, otherwise it will be inconvenient to clean up the dirt. For the long foreskin, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately, otherwise it will not only hide dirt and cause symptoms such as glans inflammation, but also continue to affect men's ejaculation and male sexual function. Nowadays, the long foreskin can be effectively solved by laser treatment and other methods, and the impact on the patient is relatively small.

After the circumcision surgery, men should not take a bath temporarily, pay attention to the dressing and maintenance of the wound, and eat a lighter diet. Before recovery, they cannot have sex, and should try to avoid sexual excitement and the frequency of genital erection to prevent the wound from being involved.

The harm of foreskin

However, the foreskin will not have any effect on the body. It is just a simple layer of skin, and it will not affect men's health. However, the harm of foreskin is that it will cause a series of secondary diseases, which are mainly manifested in the following 8 aspects.

1. It is easy to cause various inflammations. Although a long foreskin will not affect urination, it can hide dirt. In particular, it can metabolize a kind of smelly white secretion called urine scale. Urine scale can stimulate the glans penis for a long time, especially the coronal groove, which can easily cause balanitis and vulvitis. The bacteria in the cavity of the foreskin that is too long will increase and infect, and it will continue to cause cystitis, pyelonephritis and prostatitis.

2. It is easy to cause penile cancer. The diffuse irritation of urine scale is the cause of penile cancer. According to statistics, most of the penile cancer patients have foreskin that is too long.

3. It is easy to cause incarcerated phimosis. When the penis is erect, the foreskin is too long and cannot be turned down after being turned over. The foreskin is too long and the glans penis is stuck, resulting in incarcerated phimosis. At this time, the glans penis will produce edema due to blood obstruction. In more serious cases, the glans penis may die.

4. Harm to kidney function: Penis inflammation can cause stenosis of the urethra or anterior urethra, leading to urinary incontinence. Long-term urinary incontinence will affect kidney function.

5. Causes premature ejaculation: Due to the long foreskin, the glans penis cannot be in good contact with the outside world, resulting in high sensitivity of local nerves. Once intercourse begins, men will ejaculate after just a few frictions. If this continues for a long time, habitual premature ejaculation will occur.

6. It is easy to cause lewdness. The irritation of urine scale and balanitis can easily cause lewdness.

7. It can easily lead to infertility. Prostatitis caused by urine scale infection can affect the sperm motility and viscosity of male sperm in semen, which can lead to infertility.

8. It can easily affect women's physical and mental health. Because there are many bacteria in urine scale, they can invade women's vagina during sexual intercourse and cause infection.
