The harm of too long foreskin in boys

Many boys have the problem of foreskin being too long. It will not cause any harm to their body at the beginning, but after a long time, there will be inflammation inside, which will definitely cause many harms. Many people are very curious about the dangers of having too long foreskin in boys. We have also consulted authoritative experts in andrology to hear what they say about this. I hope the following content is helpful to everyone, and I hope everyone can pay attention to it.

Phimosis refers to the foreskin covering the urethral opening, but can be turned up to expose the urethral opening and the glans penis, often accompanied by phimosis. This disease is related to genetics and can be divided into true phimosis and false phimosis. Patients with prepuce that is too long should undergo surgery as soon as possible. For non-inflammatory foreskin, surgery is not necessary as long as the foreskin is pulled up and cleaned regularly.

The dangers of excessive foreskin:

1. Pseudo-phimosis generally does not affect the normal life of couples, but excessive foreskin can easily cause inflammation and even penile cancer. Clinically, most patients with penile cancer are people with untreated phimosis and excessive foreskin, so it is best to perform circumcision during adolescence.

2. Harm to women's health. A large amount of smegma accumulates in the overly long foreskin, which is full of various bacteria, causing women to suffer from repeated gynecological infections and long-term difficulty in recovery. Clinical investigations have shown that smegma is an important cause of cervical malignancy in women, so the presence of foreskin should be taken seriously.

3. Phimosis can easily hinder the normal development of the penis. When the foreskin is too long, it should be treated as soon as possible. If not treated in time, it can easily lead to a small penis. Male friends need to be vigilant.

4. Excessive foreskin and phimosis may cause foreskin incarceration. Male friends should pay more attention to their physical and mental health. If they have foreskin that is too long or phimosis, they should seek treatment as soon as possible. If not treated in time, the blood flow to the glans may be blocked, causing congestion and edema of the glans, which may develop into penile necrosis over time.

5. Prone to urinary tract infections. Due to the effects of deposits such as smegma, it can cause urinary tract infections such as balanitis, urethritis, genital infections, herpes, etc., which can easily lead to gynecological diseases in sexual partners.

6. It can easily cause male infertility. Smegma infection may cause prostatitis, reduce sperm motility and semen viscosity, and may lead to infertility.

This is all I have to say about the dangers of having too long foreskin in boys. I hope that after reading the above article, you will be able to understand the dangers of having too long foreskin. It is best for people with too long foreskin to get a circumcision as soon as possible. In addition, you must choose a good hospital before having surgery. You must not go to some unknown small hospitals because the medical technology and surgical equipment in these places are not up to standard.
