Do you know the secret of the foreskin of the penis? There is a double layer of foreskin outside the head of the male penis, known as the foreskin. Turning over the foreskin, it can be seen that the circular part behind the glans is called the Corona of glans penis. Understanding the secrets of the foreskin of the penis can better maintain men's physical health!
Where is the foreskin?
Phimosis refers to the skin covering the head of the penis and folding into a double layer of skin. In infancy, the foreskin is longer and wraps around the penis, preventing the glans and urethral opening from being exposed. For physiological phimosis, as age increases. The penis and foreskin gradually develop, and during puberty, the foreskin retracts back until the adult glans is exposed. However, in approximately 30% of adults, the foreskin completely covers the glans of the penis.
The foreskin is a part of the male external genitalia and has important physiological functions. The medical community has been studying the function of the foreskin. With the deepening of research, we have gained a new understanding and understanding of the function of the foreskin. At present, the recognized functions of the foreskin in the medical community are as follows: firstly, the foreskin covers the glans penis and protects it. In primitive humans, this function was more prominent. Due to the hunting and other activities of primitive humans, various mosquitoes often bite in mountainous areas and forests. Due to the fact that the glans penis is a sensitive and easily stimulated area, foreskin coverage can make it easier for people to complete various activities. Modern humans no longer engage in hunting and other activities, but are covered with clothing to increase protection of the genitalia. As a result of thousands of years of human evolution, the protective effect of foreskin cannot be ignored.
There is a double layer of folded penile skin outside the head of the male penis, known as the foreskin. Turning over the foreskin, it can be seen that there is a ring-shaped shrinking part behind the glans, called the Corona of glans penis. There are many Sebaceous gland in the skin near the Corona of glans penis, which secrete smelly secretion, which is yellow white mud like, called Smegma.
A man, especially before the age of 7, has a relatively long foreskin that covers the entire glans penis and urethral opening. In the future, with the development of youth, the volume and length of the penis will increase, and the foreskin will retract, exposing the glans penis and urethral opening outside the foreskin. If the foreskin opening is narrow in adulthood, or if the foreskin still adheres to the glans penis, the foreskin cannot be flipped over and expose the urethral opening or glans penis, it is medically called phimosis; If the foreskin can expose the glans, but the foreskin opening is very small, there is no urethral opening, and the foreskin is too long.
