[Hong Kong Dragon. Health Consultation] Is the foreskin still capricious as summer approaches

Summer is a time of rampant bacteria and viruses. The hot weather at this time provides favorable conditions for the multiplication of bacteria. In addition, the secretion of exuberant body fluids also provides a hotbed for bacterial reproduction. At this point, male friends with long foreskins should be aware that the carnival of bacteria may cause you no small trouble.

The harm of excessive foreskin to men in summer

1. "Affect the harmony of sexual life: Adults have long foreskins or phimosis that affect their normal sexual life, such as impotence and premature ejaculation.".

2. Inflammation of the penis: When phimosis or foreskin is too long, foreskin scaling can cause inflammation of the penis head and foreskin. Germs can also cause urinary tract infections through the urethra, and inflammation that occurs at the urethral orifice can cause narrowing of the urethral orifice after healing, causing difficulty in urination.

3. Impairment of renal function: Prolonged foreskin and phimosis cause excessive stricture of the urethral orifice, which can lead to contraction of the bladder sphincter during urination, reflux of urine along the fallopian tube, dilation of the ureter and renal pelvis, and thus cause bacterial infection of the upper urinary tract, leading to secondary reflux kidney disease and even renal function damage.

4. "Prepuce balanitis: Prolonged prepuce and phimosis can easily cause prepuce balanitis, often manifested as redness, pain, and itching of the penis and prepuce. Some may have erosion and ulcers, with yellow purulent secretions, accompanied by a special odor.". In severe cases, necrosis of the penis head may occur.

Phimosis and excessive foreskin are like a double-edged sword, not only seriously endangering the health of men, but also posing certain risks to women's health. When couples cohabit, they can bring foreskin dirt into the vagina, causing various gynecological inflammation in women, and even stimulating the uterus, inducing cervical cancer. Therefore, for those who suffer from excessive foreskin or phimosis, it is best to perform foreskin plastic surgery as soon as possible in order to protect their health and care for their wives.

What to do if the foreskin is too long

Patients with excessive foreskin should be treated with circumcision as soon as possible. For non inflamed foreskin that is too long, as long as the foreskin is often turned upside down and cleaned, surgery may not be necessary.

Those with phimosis and excessive foreskin are encouraged to undergo circumcision before marriage. Start having sex after treatment. When cohabiting without this treatment, the local penis should be cleaned before and after sexual intercourse; In addition, it is necessary to maintain local lubrication of the sexual organs, and during sexual intercourse, movements should not be violent to avoid incarcerated phimosis or laceration of the tether.

What are the benefits of circumcision?

1. Remove foreskin scale, remove the stench of foreskin: foreskin scale accumulates between the foreskin and glans, with an unpleasant odor like cheese. After the foreskin is removed, there is no place for foreskin scaling to accumulate.

2. It can reduce the prevalence of glans foreskin inflammation. The overlong prepuce prevents the secretion of the sebaceous glands within the prepuce from being discharged, and gradually forms a smelly prepuce scale. Scald on the foreskin is suitable for bacterial growth and can cause inflammation of the penis and foreskin. Inflammation that occurs at the urethral orifice can cause narrowing of the urethral orifice after healing, causing difficulty in urination. Prolonged stimulation of the penis by foreskin scale can also lead to penis cancer. It is reported that about 85% - 95% of patients with penile cancer have a history of phimosis or redundant foreskin.

3. It can improve the quality of sexual life and prevent the occurrence of penis cancer. "There is almost no penile cancer in Jews, because all boys in this nation undergo circumcision to remove the cause of penile cancer. Therefore, circumcision is of great significance in preventing penile cancer.".

4. Can avoid cross infection: Because the male foreskin is too long, it can lead to the breeding of bacteria and viruses such as foreskin dirt, which can easily be transmitted to the female through sexual behavior, leading to the emergence of gynecological inflammation.

5. It can increase the sensitivity of the glans: Generally, the most sensitive place for male sexual stimulation is at the glans, while wrapping the glans around the foreskin for a long time can reduce the sensitivity to external stimuli. After circumcision, when the glans is exposed, its sensitivity and sexual pleasure will also increase.
