What is the reason for the foreskin to have a crack?

When a male friend has a foreskin that is too long, he needs to undergo a circumcision to remove part of the foreskin, otherwise it is easy for bacteria to grow under the foreskin. However, after the foreskin is removed, the foreskin will be cracked, and the crack is easy to get infected, so it is recommended that you should pay attention to the hygiene of the crack. Now let us understand the causes of foreskin cracks.

Symptoms of prepuce

1. Increased foreskin secretions: This disease is mostly caused by excessive foreskin or balanitis. Excessive foreskin increases the smegma, breeds bacteria, causes balanitis, and inflammatory stimulation, which increases foreskin secretions. Seek medical attention immediately, otherwise it will develop into prostatitis, affect male sexual function, and lead to infertility.

2. Small pimples on the foreskin: Small pimples on the foreskin may also be balanitis. People with balanitis will have red and white spots, small pimples or papules on the glans. But most of them are caused by inflammatory stimulation caused by excessive foreskin, phimosis or hygiene habits.

3. Increased smegma: Experts say that there are many reasons for the sudden increase of smegma in men. The more common ones are: unclean sexual life, or too long foreskin and insufficient cleaning. At this time, it should be taken seriously. The sudden increase of smegma can cause reproductive infection, lead to sexual dysfunction, and cause gynecological diseases in the wife, so it must be treated in time.

4. Foreskin fissure: Experts remind that if the problem of foreskin fissure occurs, you should be alert, as it may be caused by balanitis. At the beginning, it is mostly painful during sexual intercourse. After sexual intercourse, tiny cracks will appear in the skin at the foreskin, and there will be slight swelling and pain. It will get better after treatment, but if it recurs over and over again, the foreskin opening will eventually become narrow due to scar contraction, and the penis may even become erectile and unable to complete the sexual intercourse process.

5. Short or broken frenulum: Many men will have the problem of short frenulum, which will directly affect the treatment of sexual life. The frenulum connects the foreskin and the glans penis. If it is short, it will cause pulling when the penis is erect, causing pain and inability to complete sexual life normally. If the frenulum is broken, it will affect erection problems, and the pain will affect work and life. Therefore, when the frenulum has the above problems, you must seek medical attention in time to solve them.

The dangers of excessive foreskin

1. Hindering development: After puberty, the corpus cavernosum of the penis begins to swell, and the penis gradually grows larger. However, if you suffer from phimosis or prepuce that is too long, it will cause a certain degree of restraint on the corpus cavernosum of the penis, hindering the development of the penis and causing a short penis or a small glans.

2. Cause various infections: There is often a large amount of urine scale in the foreskin cavity of foreskin or prepuce, which is a good culture medium for bacteria and various pathogenic microorganisms, which can induce foreskin and glans inflammation, and retrograde upward, which can cause urethritis, cystitis, pyelitis and even prostatitis, vas deferens, epididymitis and orchitis. If there is a history of unclean sex life, the possibility of contracting sexually transmitted diseases is more than ten times greater than that of normal people.

3. Impact on sexual function: Since the foreskin cavity of patients with phimosis and prepuce hyperplasia has varying degrees of inflammation, it can cause the glans penis to be overly sensitive, which can easily lead to premature ejaculation or spermatorrhea, and severe cases can lead to impotence. Since bacteria can affect the vitality of sperm, it can cause infertility.

4. Induce cancer: Long-term stimulation of the foreskin urine scale in the foreskin cavity of patients with phimosis and prepuce hyperplasia can induce penile papilloma and cancer.

5. Symptoms of urinary tract obstruction: If the foreskin opening is too small, urine discharge may be blocked. Due to the effect of back pressure, it may lead to bladder diverticulum. In severe cases, it may even cause uremia and death.

6. Cause your sexual partner to suffer from gynecological diseases: Because there is inflammation in the foreskin cavity, it is easy to infect your lover, causing vaginitis, cervicitis, cervical erosion, adnexitis and even pelvic inflammatory disease. Long-term cervical erosion can induce cervical cancer.
