What will happen if the foreskin is too long?

The foreskin refers to the skin on the surface of the glans of the male genitals. It is a relatively sensitive area for men, and many men are prone to the phenomenon of foreskin being too long. This is due to congenital reasons. The foreskin being too long is very bad for the genitals and can easily lead to urethral stoma inflammation, or the foreskin can easily hide dirt, etc. It can also easily lead to glans inflammation, which requires surgery for treatment.

What will happen if the foreskin is too long?

If the foreskin is too long, it will generally cause balanitis and urethral stoma inflammation. Patients with too long foreskin are advised to turn it over and clean it every day, which can effectively avoid the occurrence of infection. If patients with too long foreskin do not pay attention to hygiene for a long time, it may lead to increased accumulation of smegma in the inner plate of the foreskin. Long-term chronic stimulation may increase the incidence of penile cancer. If the foreskin is too long and the hygiene is poor, it is easy to cause rapid ejaculation after the glans is stimulated during sexual intercourse, which may also cause vaginitis in women. Long-term sexual intercourse in such an environment may increase the incidence of cervical cancer in women. It is recommended that patients with too long foreskin pay attention to hygiene and undergo circumcision when necessary.

Phimosis means that in its natural state, the foreskin completely covers the glans penis and coronal sulcus.

The first problem it brings is that the inner plate of the glans and foreskin is easy to be dirty and difficult to clean. When the resistance is reduced or by chance, inflammation of the glans and foreskin may occur, causing redness, swelling and itching of the glans and foreskin, and in severe cases, rupture may occur.

In addition, if the infection is repeated, as the patient ages, the risk of penile cancer in old age is higher than normal people.

In addition, some scholars believe that the excessive foreskin covering the glans penis makes the glans penis more delicate, which may be related to premature ejaculation.

Phimosis refers to the foreskin covering the urethral opening, but can be turned up to expose the urethral opening and the glans penis. Phimosis refers to the foreskin opening being narrow or the foreskin being adhered to the glans penis, so that the foreskin cannot be turned up to expose the urethral opening and the glans penis. Phimosis is usually treated by circumcision.

At the same time, excessive foreskin can cause many hidden risk factors, such as balanoposthitis, premature ejaculation, and sexual intercourse pain. Excessive foreskin generally requires circumcision. If there are no symptoms but the foreskin is simply long, pay attention to washing it every day to prevent the foreskin from causing inflammation. If it can be kept clean, it can be treated without surgery.
