What are the dangers of excessive foreskin in adolescents

Generally speaking, surgical treatment is often used to treat the condition of excessive foreskin clinically. Especially for adolescent patients with excessive foreskin, early surgery can avoid the harm of suffering from other types of diseases in the genital area due to excessive foreskin. So, what are the dangers of excessive foreskin in adolescents? Let me explain it to you below.

The foreskin is the soft layer of skin over the head of the penis. When infants and young children, the foreskin is longer and is outside the glans penis, which can protect the fragile glans penis. As age increases, the foreskin gradually retracts behind the glans penis. During puberty, the foreskin naturally rolls up as the genitals develop, exposing the entire glans penis. If the foreskin still covers the glans penis during puberty and cannot be turned up, it is called "phimosis"; if it can be turned up but the glans penis cannot be exposed, it is called "foreskin is too long".

If teenagers have problems such as foreskin being too long or phimosis, and do not pay attention to hygiene, it will cause a series of diseases, and will also have adverse effects on their sexual life and fertility after marriage. Common adverse effects include: excessive foreskin causes smegma to irritate the glans penis, especially the coronal groove, which can easily cause balanitis and balanitis; ascending bacterial infection in the foreskin cavity can also cause cystitis, pyelonephritis and prostatitis; chronic irritation of smegma is one of the causes of penile cancer.

1. Chronic irritation of smegma can induce penile diseases;

2. The stimulation of smegma and balanitis can easily lead to masturbation, which is also the harm of excessive foreskin in adolescents;

3. Ascending bacterial infection in the foreskin cavity can also cause cystitis, pyelonephritis and prostatitis;

4. Excessive foreskin causes smegma to stimulate the glans penis for a long time, especially the coronal groove. The harm of excessive foreskin in adolescents is easy to cause balanitis and balanitis.

5. Prostatitis caused by smegma infection affects the motility of sperm in semen and the viscosity of semen. The harm of excessive foreskin in adolescents can cause infertility.

From the above, it can be seen that once the disease of excessive foreskin exists in adolescents, if the patient does not do a good job of hygiene and cleaning on a regular basis, it is possible that bacteria will grow and cause prostatitis, balanitis, and other diseases. In addition, the existence of excessive foreskin will also affect the fertility of male patients. Therefore, male patients with excessive foreskin must be treated as soon as possible.
