What if the foreskin is too long?
Too long foreskin means that the foreskin of male penis is too long, completely covering the glans, and the glans cannot be completely exposed. Usually divided into two types, different types of foreskin have different treatment methods, as follows:

1. Simple foreskin is too long: Although the foreskin covers the entire glans, if it is turned up forcibly, the glans can be completely exposed. If this kind of patients often have balanitis prepuce, they are always red and swollen, or there are red spots and desquamation on them. At this time, it is recommended that the patient be circumcised. If the foreskin is too long and there is no sign of balanitis, circumcision is unnecessary. Just pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life, open the foreskin regularly and clean the glans and the inner plate of the foreskin.

2, phimosis: this kind of patient's foreskin can't turn up, the glans can't be exposed, and usually needs surgery;

3. Others: If diabetic patients have always had balanitis prepuce, circumcision is also recommended, because diabetes is the inducing factor of infection.
