What is the difference between foreskin and phimosis? What are the general hazards of phimosis

Too long foreskin is a common disease of male reproductive system. Many people confuse foreskin and phimosis. Let's see.

What is the difference between foreskin and phimosis?

1. Different concepts

Long skin refers to the fact that the penis skin covers the glans after the male adult, so that the glans cannot be completely exposed. It can be divided into true foreskin and false foreskin. The true foreskin is too long, which means that the penis can not be completely exposed after erection. The false foreskin is too long, which means that the penis can not be completely exposed at ordinary times, but the penis can be completely exposed after erection. Phimosis means that the foreskin completely covers the glans, and the glans cannot be exposed at any time.

2. Symptoms are different

The symptoms of excessive prepuce are glans, the rest of the small mouth urinates, prepuce turnover, prepuce turnover, prepuce turnover, prepuce turnover, prepuce turnover, prepuce turnover, and prepuce turnover. Because of the narrow phimosis and urethral orifice, the bladder sphincter contracts during urination.

3. Different hazards

The harm of phimosis is greater than that of long foreskin. The male foreskin is too long, and the secretion of sebaceous glands in the foreskin cannot be discharged. The sebum and sediment in the urine synthesize cheese-like and smelly foreskin scale. There are a lot of bacteria hidden in the foreskin scale, which is easy to cause male glans and foreskin inflammation after long-term stimulation. In addition to the above injuries, phimosis has a great impact on the development of men. The short foreskin opening of the male penis is as narrow as a pinhole, the foreskin expands like a ball when urinating, the urine flows back along the ureter, the ureter and pelvis expand, the upper urinary tract bacterial infection, scar formation, secondary reflux nephropathy and renal function damage, phimosis is easy to cause male incarcerated phimosis, incarcerated phimosis treatment is slow, and male glans necrosis

What is the harm of phimosis?

1. Inflammation of penis

There are abundant sebaceous glands in the foreskin, which can secrete a large amount of sebum. When the phimosis or foreskin is too long, the secretion of sebaceous glands in the foreskin cannot be discharged, and the sediment in sebum and urine can synthesize cheese-like and smelly foreskin scale. The foreskin scale is suitable for bacterial growth and can cause inflammation of the penis and foreskin. Bacteria can also cause urinary tract infection through the urethra. Inflammation of urethral orifice, stricture of urethral orifice after healing, and difficulty in urination

2. Cause male infertility

The foreskin scale produced by the long foreskin is easy to infect and cause prostatitis, reduce the quality of sperm activity and semen viscosity, and can lead to male infertility.
