The harm of phimosis in children is unexpectedly so serious

Parents must pay attention to their children's phimosis. If this problem exists, it must be resolved in a timely manner. If it is not resolved for a long time, there will be a series of hazards, and it may even have a relatively large impact on the child's future health.

1. Damage to kidney function: Inflammation of the penis may cause stenosis of the urethral opening or anterior urethra, leading to difficulty in urination. If you have difficulty urinating for a long time, your kidney function will be damaged.

2. Hindering the development of the penis: During adolescence, because the glans penis is tightly covered by the foreskin and cannot receive the necessary external stimulation, the development of the glans penis is greatly restricted, causing the circumference of the glans penis crown to become significantly smaller after the sexual organ matures.

3. There is a risk of cancer: If the foreskin of a child is too long and not treated promptly and effectively, it will often lead to phimosis. When phimosis occurs, the blood circulation of the incarcerated penis is blocked and it cannot get nutrition. The glans penis and foreskin are prone to infection, ulceration and even necrosis. The repeated occurrence of balanitis and chronic stimulation of smegma will promote the occurrence of penile cancer.

4. Affect the normal development of the glans: Once repeated urethral infections occur, it is easy to cause adhesion of the foreskin and the glans mucosa, affecting the normal development of the glans. Severe symptoms may even cause glans deformity.

5. Inflammation of the penis: There are abundant sebaceous glands in the foreskin, which can secrete a large amount of sebum. Generally, when suffering from phimosis or prepuce is too long, the secretions of the sebaceous glands in the foreskin cannot be discharged, and the sebum and the sediment in the urine combine to form cheese-like and smelly "scum". Smegma is suitable for bacterial growth, so it will cause inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin.
