What is phimosis, the difference between phimosis and redundant prepuce?

According to the survey, the incidence of penis cancer accounts for about half of male genitourinary system tumors, and the number of men who die of penis cancer is increasing year by year, and more than 90% of patients with penis cancer have the problem of long foreskin. According to the data of the World Health Organization, among the 365,438+billion men in the world, the foreskin is too long and phimosis exceeds 39%. What is phimosis? What's the difference between phimosis and excessive prepuce? Please listen to the following breakdown: the foreskin is too long, which means that the penis is in a relaxed state and the foreskin covers the entire glans. If the foreskin not only covers the entire glans, but also the foreskin mouth is narrow and the foreskin cannot be everted, this state is medically called phimosis. Whether the foreskin is too long or phimosis, its characteristic is that the foreskin covers the glans penis and urethral orifice for a long time, so that the mucus secreted by glands in the inner plate of the foreskin, urethra, coronary sulcus and other parts can not be discharged and accumulated in the foreskin. Coupled with the irrigation of urine, the local areas of foreskin and coronary sulcus become good breeding areas for bacteria, and those secretions and organic components in urine become natural "grain depots" for bacteria, which thrive in fertile breeding bags with suitable temperature and humidity, and occasionally "make waves" in local areas. Especially in summer, the exuberant secretion of human glands just provides rich nutrition for bacteria, and the bacterial family will flourish. They mainly cause balanoposthitis, manifested as local redness, papules, ulcers and so on. Some patients may invade the male reproductive system such as prostate, seminal vesicle, epididymis and testis due to the in-depth development of bacteria along urethra. Especially in patients with phimosis, a large amount of secretions can not be discharged, and deposition can form scale. Children with phimosis often see uneven "lumps" on the surface of the foreskin. These lumps are scale. If the foreskin is too long and phimosis, it is best to do circumcision to prevent the occurrence of penile cancer. There is almost no penile cancer in Jews, because all the boys in this nation are circumcised to remove the cause of penile cancer, so circumcision is of great significance to prevent penile cancer. In addition, Jews circumcise boys early, and the incidence of penile cancer is almost zero, which shows that the earlier circumcision, the lower the incidence of penile cancer. Therefore, the foreskin is too long, so it is necessary to do "cosmetic surgery" on the foreskin for reproductive health.
