What are the effects of foreskin being too long?

In daily life, many men have long foreskins. Generally, during the puberty period, if you find that you have long foreskins, it is best to go to the hospital for a physical examination in time and make improvements through surgical treatment. Only by timely surgical circumcision of the long foreskin can you avoid the occurrence of adverse effects. Otherwise, the long foreskin may affect the future growth and development of the male genitals, and even show the main manifestation of decreased sexual ability. So, what is the reason for the long foreskin?

What is the reason for long foreskin?

Phimosis refers to a condition in which the male foreskin covers the urethral opening, but can be turned up to expose the urethral opening and the glans penis. This condition is generally related to genetic inheritance and can be divided into two types: pseudo-phimosis and pathological phimosis. When inflammation and other effects occur due to phimosis, treatment should be carried out as soon as possible through circumcision surgery. For those with normal phimosis without inflammation, the phimosis can be cleaned up frequently. If it has no effect on the growth and development of the male genitals and does not reduce sexual function, surgical treatment is not necessary.

What harm does long foreskin do to the body?

1. Cause penile inflammation

Long foreskin usually causes some harm to the human body. If the foreskin is not treated in time, it is easy to cause local inflammation. For example, common genital inflammation is related to long foreskin. Long foreskin is easy to hide stains. Such stains will cause irritation to the genitals for a long time, which may lead to the development of local inflammation. Therefore, if you find that you have long foreskin, you need to treat it as soon as possible.

2. Affects the development of boys

Long foreskin can easily lead to restricted development of boys. Generally, during the puberty period, if you find that the foreskin is long, you can circumcise the excessive foreskin through surgery. Otherwise, the foreskin is too long, and the glans penis is covered by the foreskin, and it cannot grow and develop normally. At this time, the male penis may also appear short. Therefore, after discovering this kind of symptom, you should treat it as soon as possible, otherwise the normal growth and development of the penis will be affected.

3. Reduce male sexual performance

If a man has a long foreskin, it may affect his sexual life. Especially for men with a small foreskin, the foreskin cannot be turned up and cannot be restored, so the foreskin is easy to get stuck in the coronal sulcus. In this case, men may experience penile pain during sex, or even edema, and in more serious cases, it may cause glans necrosis.

4. Affects kidney function and physical and mental health

Long foreskin may affect the health of kidney function in men, because men with long foreskin are prone to penile inflammation. Inflammation of the genitals can cause stenosis of the urethra and anterior urethra, resulting in urinary incontinence. Long-term urinary incontinence can damage the kidney function, so when such symptoms as long foreskin are found, treatment measures should be taken immediately.
