Factors that cause foreskin fissures

The foreskin is the main skin covering the penis, mainly to isolate bacteria from harming the penis. If the foreskin is torn, it is easy to cause penile inflammation and foreskin infection, so it is recommended that male friends should pay attention to the hygiene of foreskin cracks and deal with the infection of foreskin cracks. Let's take a look at why foreskin cracks occur, and hope that everyone can prevent these factors.

When a foreskin fissure occurs, first suspect the foreskin is too long or phimosis, because the foreskin is too long and can easily lead to bacterial infection, and long-term stimulation can lead to foreskin fissures. The foreskin is too long and phimosis can induce balanitis due to chronic stimulation of urine and smegma, causing edema, congestion, erosion, cracking, and repeated cross infection of the foreskin mucosa. In addition, due to repeated friction during sexual intercourse, the foreskin is prone to edema, which is more obvious during intense movements, and even foreskin incarceration occurs, which is prone to laceration and bleeding during sexual intercourse.

The following are some of the dangers that foreskin fissures can cause to men:

1. Inducing inflammation: Foreskin fissures can easily cause inflammation of organs such as prostatitis, testicles, epididymitis, and vas deferens. Experts point out that if there is no timely and effective diagnosis, it is easy to be infected with each other, which will cause more serious damage to reproductive health.

2. Accumulation of smegma: The foreskin fissures will cause smegma to form in a warm and humid environment due to the difficulty in draining urine residues and the accumulation of shed cells, mucus or bacteria in the foreskin. If it is not thoroughly cleaned for a long time, it will also irritate the glans penis to cause balanitis, foreskin stones, and leukoplakia after the foreskin pigment falls off.

3. Leading to urinary system diseases: Foreskin fissures can easily lead to the infection of the urinary system, which is generally common in cystitis, nephritis, pelvic inflammation, etc., especially chronic glans inflammation that has not been cured for a long time is most likely to cause urinary system diseases. Improper treatment of acute attacks can be life-threatening.

4. Impact on sexual function: During the foreskin fissure period, the glans penis nerve is in a sensitive period, coupled with the damage caused by inflammation, it makes it easy to have premature ejaculation during sexual life, and in the long run it may cause impotence.

In addition, adhesions caused by foreskin atrophy can also produce hypertrophic narrow rings, which can cause erectile dysfunction and other sexual dysfunctions when the penis is pulled back and compressed during erection. However, male patients with foreskin fissures do not need to worry, as various circumcision surgeries currently available can solve the problem of foreskin fissures. Moreover, the technology of circumcision surgery is mature, and it basically achieves the goals of short time, fast recovery, less pain, and good appearance after surgery.
