Nowadays, many men are affected by excessive foreskin and phimosis, mainly because excessive foreskin and phimosis not only lead to unsightly appearance of the penis, but also lead to foreskin balanitis disease, which greatly affects the health of men. And now many people don't know enough about foreskin and phimosis, so do you understand the difference between foreskin and phimosis?
"Prepuce and phimosis are relatively common, but the frequent occurrence of these two conditions can seriously affect our health. Therefore, it is necessary to promptly understand the excessive prepuce and phimosis.". So what is the difference between a long foreskin and a phimosis?
It is very common for us to have an excessively long foreskin, which refers to a phenomenon where the foreskin of a male is wrapped by the glans, but can be exposed by turning the hands.
The condition of phimosis can be divided into congenital and acquired conditions, mainly referring to the fact that the opening of the foreskin of the male penis is too small and narrow, preventing the reversal of the foreskin. Congenital phimosis can be seen in any normal newborn and infant, and is not a pathological phenomenon. After the age of 3, about 90% of boys' phimosis can improve automatically. After the age of 17, only less than 1% of men have phimosis.
The difference between phimosis and overlong foreskin:
"Both phimosis and excessive foreskin cover the glans of the entire penis, but they are not the same. That is to say, although excessive foreskin covers the glans, the foreskin can be turned up and exposed, while the phimosis cannot be turned up and never exposed.".
Of course, phimosis is also a type of redundant foreskin, which is far more severe than redundant foreskin. This is because the overlong foreskin can be turned over and cleaned to maintain cleanliness and hygiene. The phimosis cannot be opened and cleaned by itself. According to relevant statistical data, about 30% of men have redundant foreskin, and only 8% of them suffer from phimosis.
