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.

What should I do if a boy’s foreskin is too long? If it is a newborn, no treatment is needed. Newborns are usually wrapped, which is a physiological phenomenon. When a boy grows to about 4 years old, the glans penis and foreskin will no longer be stuck together. As he grows older, the foreskin will turn up and gradually expose the glans penis. By the age of 15, it will be completely exposed, and the foreskin that is too long will disappear on its own. If your foreskin is still too long when you are around 20 years old, you need to see a doctor.

However, when children are young, they should also pay attention to the problem of foreskin, because the foreskin is very easy to "harbour dirt and filth", which is not only easy for bacteria to multiply and cause inflammation, but may also cause long-term irritation and lead to cancer. It should be washed frequently with warm water. But don't use soap or other detergents that contain harsh chemicals.

If a child's foreskin becomes inflamed repeatedly, he or she needs to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. If the doctor says surgery is necessary, don't refuse, as it will affect your child's entire life. Also, parents do not need to worry about their children undergoing surgery, because circumcision is a minor operation and will definitely not affect the child’s daily life in the future.

For those with phimosis and prepuce that is too long, it is recommended to undergo circumcision before marriage. Resume sexual life after treatment. When those who have not undergone this treatment have sex, they should clean the penis locally before and after intercourse. In addition, they should keep the sexual organs locally lubricated, and avoid violent movements during intercourse to avoid incarcerated phimosis or frenulum tearing.
