What are the types of male penis deformity? According to experts, penis abnormalities are common, mainly congenital malformations, which endanger the reproductive health of male friends. It is recommended that male friends find out that they have penis abnormalities, and go to a formal professional andrology hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible to avoid causing more serious consequences to damage their physical health.
1. Phimosis: The skin of the penis in normal men is thin, and the skin near the head of the penis is folded inward into a double layer, covering the penis, which is called foreskin. If the foreskin mouth is narrow, the tight wrapping of the penis head cannot turn the foreskin up and expose the penis head is called phimosis. The adhesions between the foreskin and the penis at birth are called congenital phimosis. Another kind of acquired phimosis is caused by the formation of scar contracture of the prepuce mouth secondary to the prepuce inflammation of the penis head.
2. Penile torsion: from the anatomical structure of the penis, the penis is composed of two penile cavernous bodies at the dorsal side and one urethral cavernous body at the ventral center. During the development process, if the penile cavernous body develops asymmetrically, the penile torsion occurs, and the degree of torsion is determined by the degree of unbalanced development of the penile cavernous body.
3. Duplicate penis: including bifurcated penis, complete duplicate penis and another ectopic penis, with the highest incidence of bifurcated penis. Repeated penis can be limited to the penis head or include the whole penis.
4. No penis: the patient is born without a penis, and the urethra is opened in the perineum, near the anus and even in the rectum. This disease is very rare, including one in about 2 million newborn boys.
5. Big penis: As the name suggests, the penis is too large compared with people of the same age, which is called big penis. Generally speaking, the penis of normal adults is 7-10 cm, which can be doubled when erecting. This disease mainly occurs in early puberty, congenital dementia, dwarfism, pituitary hyperfunction and adrenal hyperfunction.
6. Small penis: the average penis length of normal male newborn is 3.5~7 cm, while the small penis is less than 1 cm. When entering puberty, the male small penis is childlike.
7. Concealed penis: refers to the skin of the pubic part with too much fat and insufficient penis skin attached to the penis, so that the penis is concealed in the pubic part.
8. Webbed penis: that is, there is a thin skin extending from the scrotum to the ventral side of the penis, and the penis and scrotum are fused.
9. Transposition of penis and scrotum: also known as prepenital scrotum. It is the scrotum that grows to the front of the penis and cannot survive due to other serious deformities, so it is rare in clinic. Complete scrotal transposition is rare, and some patients with penile and scrotal transposition often have hypospadias.
10. Congenital penis curvature: It is due to the shortening of the urethral cavernous body located at the ventral side of the penis, which makes the penis bend to the ventral side. Recommended reading: When is the best treatment for penis deformity? I hope to bring help to the majority of patients. If you have similar symptoms, you need to go to a regular hospital for treatment in time.
