The concept of foreskin

The causes of phimosis are very complicated. Many people divide it into several types. The symptoms of different types of people will also be different. Especially when male friends reach puberty, they are most likely to develop this type of disease. Then surgical resection must be taken for treatment. This treatment method is currently the only method that can achieve a radical cure.

1. Symptoms and signs: Prepuce can be divided into true prepuce and false prepuce. True prepuce means that the glans cannot be fully exposed after the penis is erected; false prepuce means that the glans cannot be fully exposed at ordinary times, but can be fully exposed after the penis is erected.

2. Men with prepuce that is too long will have a narrow foreskin opening and difficulty in turning the foreskin up.

3. The foreskin is a layer of skin covering the glans penis.

4. Prepuce is often too long and the foreskin opening is too small, so the glans cannot be exposed at any time.

It can cause sexual dysfunction and even affect ejaculation. Some people may develop prostatitis and then infertility.

After puberty, the penis of a man develops rapidly and increases in size. The foreskin also retracts upward and exposes the glans penis. Some people have a phimosis because the foreskin opening is too small and cannot be turned up to expose the glans penis. Some people have a phimosis because the foreskin opening is not small and can be turned up to expose the glans penis. However, the foreskin is too long and covers the entire glans penis and the external opening of the urethra. This is called phimosis, which is the most common congenital malformation of the male genital tract.

Prepuce that is too long affects urination and easily induces infection. When the prepuce is too long, the urine flow is blocked, causing the urine flow to be divided and wet soft clothes. The foreskin often secretes a smelly substance called smegma. Because it is not removed in time, it creates a good condition for bacteria to grow and reproduce, causing glans balanitis. The glans penis erodes, the foreskin or urethral opening becomes red, swollen, painful, and has purulent secretions.

Long-term and repeated inflammation can cause urethral stenosis, further increasing urination difficulties. Because the urine produced by the kidneys cannot be discharged smoothly, the renal pelvis and ureter will be dilated over time, which is called hydronephrosis. Bacteria can also move upward into the bladder, ureter or kidneys, causing urinary tract infection. Hydronephrosis and infection often damage kidney function. Smegma and sediment in urine accumulate together to form soybean-sized foreskin stones, which can be easily mistaken for tumors and cause patients to be nervous.
