Will exposing the glans penis cause infection?

There will be no infection if the glans penis is exposed. The main reason is that it is convenient for men to clean the glans penis and avoid the accumulation of bacteria and dirt. Therefore, the exposed glans penis can avoid glansitis caused by excessive foreskin and increase the sensitivity of the glans penis. However, you should pay attention to the foreskin not being turned out too early. If it is turned out too early, the glans penis cannot be completely covered, which will affect the development of the penis. You can learn about the maintenance methods for the exposed glans penis.

At what age can a child expose his glans? In fact, it varies from person to person, but generally speaking, some teenage children can flip it up while others cannot. Don't be too anxious about this. Before the age of seven, the foreskin is generally longer and can completely cover the glans penis and the external opening of the urethra. With the continuous development of puberty, the size of the penis will gradually increase and grow, and the foreskin will retract backwards.

In fact, not all adults have exposed glans penis. About 30% of adults still have their foreskin completely covering the glans penis. Only when the foreskin is turned up by hand or when the penis is fully erected can the glans penis and urethra be exposed. This is what people call foreskin. When the foreskin opening is too small and too tight to be turned up or when the glans penis and urethra are still not exposed during erection, it is called phimosis. This situation needs to be solved when the child is in his teens, otherwise it will last for a long time and the treatment is more difficult. With the continuous development of science and technology and medical technology, generally speaking, this surgery is more convenient and quicker, so don't worry too much.

A long foreskin can easily cause some diseases, because if the foreskin is too long, the sebaceous glands of the foreskin will secrete a smelly white secretion, which cannot be discharged. Long-term accumulation will become smegma. You must pay more attention to cleaning it. If the smegma accumulates too much, it will irritate the glans penis and foreskin, causing inflammation and even adhesion. In addition to causing pain during sexual intercourse, it may also lead to penile cancer.

Generally speaking, children will show their glans when they are around ten years old, but this is a minority. Most children will show their glans when they are in their teens. You should not be too anxious about this, but you must take it very seriously, otherwise it will easily cause some diseases and affect the baby's normal development.

If the foreskin is too long, it can be cut through surgery. For specific conditions, you should go to the hospital for examination and consultation.
