The foreskin is located in the anterior position of the male reproductive organs and tightly encloses the penis. It is not only an important component of the male reproductive organs, but also has important physiological significance. "Prolonged prepuce refers to when the penis is weak, the glans completely surrounds the outer skin, and the penis is fully erect."; A condition in which the glans is still not fully visible.
In addition to erectile dysfunction (ED) and ejaculatory dysfunction, we say that diseases that threaten male reproductive health and have a high incidence are another common and frequently occurring disease. On average, one in five males has an excessively long foreskin, and one in 20 males has phimosis.
The foreskin is located in the anterior position of the male reproductive organs and tightly encloses the penis. It is not only an important component of the male reproductive organs, but also has important physiological significance. "Prolonged prepuce refers to when the penis is weak, the glans completely surrounds the outer skin, and the penis is fully erect."; A condition in which the glans is still not fully visible. Phimosis is a disease in which the opening of the same foreskin is too narrow, preventing the penis and glans from being exposed outside the foreskin.
1、 Hazards:
Although redundant prepuce and phimosis are minor ailments in male diseases, their widespread incidence makes them common and extremely harmful, and it should not be underestimated. Patients with redundant prepuce cannot easily discharge the last few drops of urine after urination, often accumulating within the prepuce, in addition to factors such as necrotic cells and secreting mucus on the surface of the prepuce and glans, as well as contamination and reproduction of the rectum and perineum, In warm and humid environments, it is extremely easy to form a white film like substance - foreskin scale. "If the foreskin scale is not thoroughly cleaned for a long time, it can stimulate the foreskin and glans, ultimately leading to other diseases, such as foreskin balanitis, foreskin stones, white spot disease caused by the peeling off of foreskin pigment, inducing premature ejaculation and penis cancer, long-term inflammation in local areas, impaired immune function, and more easily contracting sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea and condyloma acuminatum through unclean sexual life.", According to relevant data statistics, the probability of patients with redundant foreskin suffering from penis is dozens of times higher than that of normal people.
Phimosis is more harmful and can sometimes lead to phimosis incarceration. That is, when the opening of the phimosis is not very small, the penis erects, and the glans is occasionally exposed, but the narrow foreskin can become trapped in the coronal groove of the penis like a ring, causing local blood circulation disorders, causing ischemic necrosis of the embedded distal tissue, which can cause serious consequences. In addition, prepuce can also induce anorectal prolapse, hernia, urinary retention, hydronephrosis and other diseases.
Impact on sexual partners:
Long foreskin and phimosis are like a double-edged sword, not only seriously endangering the health of male patients, but also often harming women through sexual life. "Including being brought into a woman's vagina during sexual life, it can cause vaginitis, cervicitis, long-term stimulation, and penis cancer in women.".
