Men always have physical problems, and these people must also actively understand. Especially if the foreskin is too long, it can affect men's health, and when such problems are discovered, it is necessary to choose a good treatment method. What are the harms of having a long foreskin? Here are the specific answers.
What are the harms of having a long foreskin?
Hazard 1: Inducing phimosis of the glans penis and narrowing of the external urethral opening
If the foreskin is too long, Smegma is easy to accumulate under the skin, which is easy to infect bacteria and cause foreskin inflammation of the penis head. Inflammatory adhesions can affect the loosening of the foreskin, forming secondary phimosis, and even leading to urethral stricture.
Hazard 2: Causes diseases such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and male infertility
If the foreskin is too long, the stimulation to the penile mucosa will be reduced, making the neural sensation of the penile mucosa too sensitive. During sexual activity, the friction between the penis and the vagina causes premature ejaculation and sexual pain, reducing sperm motility and semen viscosity, resulting in infertility. This is the true cause of infertility in some patients in clinical practice.
Hazard 3: There is a risk of cancer
Scientific research shows that Smegma is a Carcinogen, and too long prepuce may induce Penile cancer. According to the survey, 85% -95% of Penile cancer patients have phimosis or redundant foreskin. The phimosis and foreskin are too long, which will not only affect the health of men themselves, but also bring Smegma into women's vagina, stimulate the uterus, and induce cervical cancer in women if they do not take measures to sleep with their wives.
Is male foreskin too long not cut?
Traditionally, when the male phimosis or foreskin is too long, the secretion of the Sebaceous gland in the foreskin cannot be discharged in time, which will gradually form a smelly Smegma.
Smegma is beneficial to the breeding and growth of bacteria, and it can also cause inflammation of glans and prepuce, which can lead to urethral stricture and even Dysuria. Long term Dysuria can lead to kidney damage. For those men with narrow foreskin, if the foreskin cannot be reset after turning up, the foreskin will be stuck in the Corona of glans penis of the penis, which will cause incarceration of the foreskin. In serious cases, the glans will become edema due to poor blood flow, or even become necrotic.
In addition, Penile cancer may occur when the penis head is stimulated by Smegma for a long time. It is reported that 85%~95% of Penile cancer patients have a history of phimosis or redundant prepuce.
However, with the continuous improvement of sanitary conditions, the incidence of foreskin infection and Penile cancer has been much smaller. Therefore, for most patients with phimosis, as long as the local area is kept clean and dry, surgical resection is not a necessary choice.
