What are the dangers of phimosis in children?

Phimosis can cause great harm to male friends, because if it is phimosis, it is not conducive to male friends to clean the glans and coronal sulcus when taking a bath. In this case, smegma will easily appear on the coronal sulcus of male friends, thus causing some glans inflammation. The following is some of the harms of phimosis compiled by the editor for your reference!

1. Impact on reproductive health: The sebum produced by the foreskin of phimosis patients, urine, and exfoliated cells of the penile epithelium are combined to easily form yellow-white foreskin dirt, which can accumulate inside the foreskin. If it is not eliminated in time, it is easy to breed bacteria and cause diseases such as balanitis and penile inflammation.

2. May cause premature ejaculation: The foreskin covers the glans penis for a long time, which makes the glans penis very sensitive. During sexual intercourse, the erection of the penis will expose the glans. When the glans rubs and stimulates the vagina, it will cause premature ejaculation due to the over-sensitivity of the glans mucosal nerves, thus causing premature ejaculation.

3. It can lead to cancer: Phimosis may also cause penile cancer in men. Long-term stimulation of the glans by smegma can cause chronic balanitis, which is an important factor in causing cancer. According to relevant data, about 90% of men suffering from penile cancer suffer from phimosis or prepuce.

4. Impact on the development of the glans: Patients with phimosis are prone to repeated urethral infections, which can easily cause adhesion between the foreskin and the glans mucosa, affecting the normal development of the glans, and in severe cases causing glans deformity.

Things to note after phimosis surgery

1. Try to avoid getting the dressing wet when urinating after surgery. If the dressing is contaminated with urine, it should be replaced in time. If the man is married, he should pay attention to the fact that the couple must separate for a period of time after the operation and try to avoid sexual impulses.

2. You should rest more after the operation to avoid local friction and irritation, which may cause penile erection and enlarge the wound.

The above are some of the dangers of phimosis that the editor shared with you, as well as some precautions after going to the hospital for phimosis surgery. I hope that after listening to the editor’s introduction, the majority of male friends can go to the hospital for phimosis surgery as soon as possible. If children have some phimosis, they should also go to the hospital for phimosis surgery. Be sure to pay more attention to conditioning after the operation.
