Post Date April, 16 2023
Penile cancer is not uncommon and accounts for a considerable proportion in the incidence rate of male tumors. The incidence rate of penis cancer is very inconsistent due to factors such as country, region, nationality, clan, and health habits. Generally, the incidence rate rate in Europe and the United States is low, the incidence rate rate in Asia, Africa and Latin America is high, and the incidence rate rate in Jewish and Muslim countries that believe in Islam is low.
Untreated phimosis can easily lead to penile cancer
Just as various parts of the skin secrete sebum, the sebaceous glands of the foreskin also secrete sebum. Due to phimosis or excessive foreskin, the foreskin cannot be lifted upwards, resulting in the accumulation of sebum in the gap between the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans penis. At the same time, urine will also seep into this gap and react with the sebum, becoming smegma and producing strange odor. The smegma accumulated for a long time will become a hard lump, which makes people mistakenly think that it is a tumor.
Smegma is a chemical carcinogen. Many experiments have confirmed that it has a strong carcinogenic effect. For example, when horse smegma is inoculated into mice, it can cause skin malignant tumors. Mice inoculated with human smegma can also induce cervical cancer in female mice. Modern medicine has confirmed that the specific hazards of smegma are as follows:
Directly stimulating the head of the penis can induce penile cancer.
------ Causes the foreskin and penis head to be often inflamed, and long-term inflammatory stimulation will cause degeneration and deterioration of local histiocyte of the penis.
Creating a harsh environment at the head of the penis can trigger many precancerous lesions of penile cancer, such as penile angle, penile papilloma, genital warts, penile leukoplakia, proliferative penile erythema, etc. These lesions are prone to transformation into penile cancer.
