"Details determine success or failure." Some seemingly unrelated details may directly lead to the internal disintegration of the system. The health of the genitourinary system has an important impact on the overall physiological status of men. Many men will complain that diseases of the urinary and reproductive system are easily infected, harmful, and difficult to heal. However, it is often overlooked that the excessive prepuce may be one of the inducements for male prostatitis and other urogenital infectious diseases. Therefore, it is crucial to take scientific countermeasures to treat foreskin lengthening as early as possible.
Long foreskin is not a trivial matter
The foreskin is the thin, movable skin that lies at the front end of the penis, wraps around the outside of the glans, and folds into a double layer. "Before puberty, the male foreskin is longer, and as the body develops, the foreskin will continue to shrink back, gradually exposing the penis outside the foreskin.".
"Before puberty, male prepuce length is often physiological, and after adulthood, if the penis is still delayed in revealing, it is considered prepuce length or phimosis.".
In medicine, a long foreskin refers to the foreskin covering all of the penis, but can be turned up and expose the urethral orifice and penis head; Phimosis refers to the phenomenon that the foreskin opening is narrow or the foreskin adheres to the head of the penis, causing the foreskin to not turn up, and the urethral orifice and the head of the penis cannot be exposed.
Local anomalies affect the whole
Many men believe that an excessively long foreskin is only a local appearance problem, which will not adversely affect men's various physiological functions, nor affect their overall health. Therefore, it is not considered a genital disease. However, this is not the case. Excessive foreskin and phimosis can cause certain harm to the human body.
Firstly, in terms of sexual life and function, excessive foreskin and phimosis can hinder the normal growth and development of the penis, resulting in a smaller circumference of the crown of the penis after adulthood, affecting the harmony and pleasure of sexual life. Due to being wrapped in the foreskin, the glans cannot receive the external stimulation and friction it should have, and the nerve sensation of the glans mucosa can become too sensitive, which can lead to premature ejaculation during sexual life, resulting in premature ejaculation.
Secondly, excessive foreskin can also cause inflammation. What must be mentioned here is "foreskin scaling". When the foreskin is turned over, it can be seen that the annular narrowing area behind the glans is the coronal sulcus. There are a large number of sebaceous glands in the skin around the coronal sulcus, which can secrete a large amount of sebum. "Prolonged foreskin can cause the secretion of the sebaceous glands within the foreskin to be unable to be discharged, and gradually form a yellowish white muddy secretion with a peculiar smell, which is called" foreskin scaling. "". The foreskin scale is suitable for bacterial growth and reproduction, which can stimulate inflammation of the local foreskin and mucous membranes, and cause upward infection, endangering the entire reproductive and urinary system. At the same time, it can also cause gynecological diseases in spouses through sexual life. The foreskin scale has been proven to be a carcinogen with the potential to induce penis cancer. Therefore, people with excessive foreskin should have due attention and measures to avoid affecting their own and spouse's health and quality of life.
From this point of view, excessive prepuce should be regularly examined and treated as soon as possible. If a man has a long foreskin or phimosis, it is best to undergo surgery as soon as possible to eliminate potential hazards.
