What if the foreskin is too long?

Under normal circumstances, when the penis is relaxed, the foreskin does not cover the urethral orifice, and the coronal groove can be exposed when the foreskin is turned up. "The foreskin is too long" means that there is no urethral orifice in the foreskin. When the foreskin is turned up by hand or the penis is completely erect, the glans penis can only be partially or completely exposed. "phimosis" refers to the narrow prepuce, which is tightly wrapped around the penis and cannot be turned back to reveal the penis head.

Then, will the foreskin be too long or phimosis affect your health? The answer is yes.

Too long foreskin will affect the cleanliness between foreskin and penis head, which is prone to "foreskin penis inflammation" and then "acquired phimosis". The sebaceous glands of the foreskin secrete a strange white secretion called "skin scale", which is a hotbed of bacterial reproduction. If the foreskin can't be turned up and cleaned in time, it can make the foreskin and penis hair inflamed, leading to local redness, itching or pain. This is foreskin penis inflammation. Repeated episodes of inflammation can lead to fiber adhesion, and the foreskin cannot be turned up, leading to acquired phimosis. At this point, if you turn it up forcibly, you can form an incarceration, and the tight foreskin is like a narrow ring tightly tied to the top of the glans penis. In the area below incarceration, blood circulation and lymphatic reflux are obviously blocked, resulting in local edema, which is more difficult to reset. If incarcerated for a long time, the penis head will be bruised, eroded or necrotic due to ischemia.

Perinatal diseases are usually congenital, but they can also be caused by the above reasons. The scale accumulated in phimosis capsule is often unable to be removed, and stones are formed over time. Long-term chronic adverse stimulation will cause foreskin and penile head ulcers, which is also closely related to the occurrence of penile cancer. If the phimosis mouth is too small, there will be dysuria, and urine will accumulate in the foreskin and swell into a ball. At this time, most patients will be accompanied by urinary tract infection, hydronephrosis and other renal function damage.

In addition, too long foreskin and phimosis can also lead to enuresis or masturbation. If the foreskin is too long and phimosis, it will affect the normal development and growth of the penis during the child's development.

From this point of view, the foreskin is too long and phimosis is not a small problem. Parents, especially fathers, should always observe their sons' penises. If the above problems occur, you must take your son to the hospital for circumcision, which can be done in the outpatient clinic, and you can't exercise after finishing. You should stay in bed for two days, and it is most appropriate to go on holiday.

In addition, the father should also teach his son to wash his lower body with warm water frequently. When washing, he should try to open the foreskin and carefully clean the gap to avoid bacterial infection.
