Is the foreskin too long to be cut?
The foreskin is the outer skin of the male penis. The foreskin generally wraps the penis head. Too long foreskin will make the glans penis and urethral orifice unable to be exposed, which will affect the normal physiological behavior of men. Generally speaking, if there is a phenomenon that the foreskin is too long and requires surgery, can the foreskin be too long to be cut? What harm can foreskin have if it is too long? Let me introduce it to you.

1, is it okay not to cut the foreskin if it is too long?

1, is the foreskin too long?

If the foreskin is too long, it should be surgically removed in time. If phimosis or foreskin is too long, take precautions. Don't wait for all kinds of hazards to appear before thinking of treatment. The wise choice is to solve it as soon as possible. The purpose of removing redundant foreskin is to keep the reproductive organs clean and hygienic. This can effectively avoid a series of diseases caused by long foreskin.

2. What are the hazards of long foreskin?

2. 1, renal function damage

Due to inflammation, urethral orifice or anterior urethral stricture affects urine metabolism, and bacteria in the foreskin infect the kidney, which will damage the function of the kidney for a long time.

2.2, leading to sexual dysfunction

Because the glans mucosa is less stimulated at ordinary times, the nerve sensation of the glans mucosa is too sensitive, and the friction between the glans and the female private parts during sexual life will be explosive, resulting in the pain of the same room. It will also reduce sperm vitality and semen viscosity due to premature ejaculation, inflammation, impotence and non-ejaculation, leading to infertility.

2.3, induced infertility

Prostatitis caused by Echinococcus infection will have a great impact on sperm motility and semen liquefaction, and even cause infertility.

2.4, induced penile dermatitis.

Due to the long-term accumulation of dirt and scale under the foreskin, it is easy for bacteria to multiply and grow, causing inflammation, redness and pain.

2.5, induced penile cancer

Scale is a carcinogen. Balanus dermatitis often occurs, which becomes a long-term chronic irritation and can also cause penile cancer.

2.6, affect urination function

In severe phimosis, the opening of the foreskin is as narrow as a pinhole. When urinating, urine cannot be discharged smoothly, and the foreskin will bulge like a ball, which will easily lead to urinary tract infection and even bladder and kidney.

2.7, prone to incarceration phenomenon

Because the foreskin mouth is narrow, if the foreskin is turned up reluctantly and not reset in time, the narrow foreskin mouth can be tightly tightened on the crown groove of the penis, which hinders the blood circulation of the distal foreskin and penis, resulting in swelling of the penis head and distal foreskin. Over time, the foreskin and penis head will be ischemic and necrotic.

2.8, easy to lead to premature ejaculation

Because the foreskin is too long, the glans penis will be very sensitive and easy to ejaculate during sexual life. If this continues for a long time, it will lead to premature ejaculation, affect men's sexual life and cause great psychological pressure on men.

2.9, easy to cause female gynecological diseases after marriage.

Such as female genital inflammation, cervical erosion, cervicitis and cervical cancer.

3. The best age for foreskin surgery.

Almost all children have phimosis or too long foreskin. If urination is not affected, surgery can be performed after puberty (16 years old). Because the average boy begins puberty at the age of 12, with the growth of penis and glans penis, the foreskin will automatically open like petals, most of the foreskin will be too long or phimosis will be solved, and only a few children need surgery (phimosis is still after puberty). Children's foreskin is generally washed with clear water, and when there is inflammation (red itching), it is washed with light salt water.

In fact, most of children's "phimosis" are too long foreskin, which has membranous adhesion with the penis head and can be opened to expose the penis head. If necessary, please ask a doctor to gently turn up the foreskin to remove scales, and apply clean medical paraffin oil to the penis head (to avoid inflammatory cellulose adhesion), and then turn the foreskin back to its original position (to avoid foreskin incarceration and edema). You can turn it up at any time in the future and clean it yourself, but you still have to turn it down after washing. Over time, the narrow ring of the foreskin will disappear and the penis head will be easily exposed. If your child is indeed phimosis and does not affect urination, the operation can be performed after puberty, but it should be kept clean and checked regularly to avoid inflammation as far as possible, so as to avoid the adhesion between the foreskin and the penis head and affect the operation effect. If it is often inflamed, you need surgery as soon as possible.

2. What are the symptoms of long foreskin?

1, the foreskin is too long, that is, the foreskin covers the whole glans or most of the glans; And can't turn up to the coronal groove of penis.

2, the male foreskin mouth is too tight, and the foreskin can be forcibly turned to the coronal groove, but it cannot be restored naturally, and can be restored by external force.

3. After urination, the last few drops of urine are not easy to be exhausted; But also often suffer from foreskin inflammation.

4. In time, the foreskin can be turned up to reveal the glans, but the foreskin mouth is very small, so it is more difficult to turn up; When the patient urinates, the foreskin will bulge like a ball and it is difficult to urinate.

3, should be paid attention to after foreskin surgery

1, pay attention to keep the affected area clean and dry after circumcision, and pull the dressing back slightly when urinating to avoid wetting the gauze. If it is accidentally soaked, it should be replaced in time to avoid incision infection.

2. Due to the influence of surgery and the characteristics of local tissues, the penis is prone to edema after circumcision. So stay in bed after operation and reduce standing and walking. Especially on the first and second day after operation, stay in bed and try to avoid standing.

3. The wound can basically heal within seven to ten days, and the patient can resume sexual life one month after operation.

4, adult patients and adolescents after puberty, after surgery to oral sedatives, such as diazepam and other drugs for 3-5 days, in case of penile erection caused pain.

5, diet choice, adhere to the correct diet, it is recommended to focus on light, avoid spicy food.

6, health care, keep the private parts clean, especially the wound part should be kept clean and dry, pay attention not to wet the gauze when urinating, if the gauze is soaked by urine, you can take it off first and switch back to the clinic.

7, reasonable choice of clothes, with loose breathable underwear as well, at the same time keep the penis head up, reduce edema, if necessary, you can visit regularly.

8. It should be pointed out that if there is active bleeding or hematoma in the affected area after operation; Or the edema has not gradually subsided, but has worsened. You should go back to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.

4. What is the reason for man's glans itch?

1, balanitis prepuce

Itching of glans penis is more common in male foreskin balanitis, which can be infectious or non-infectious. Infectious diseases are mainly caused by bacterial infections such as Candida, Trichomonas, Chlamydia and Mycoplasma. Infectious diseases are mainly due to the fact that the foreskin is too long, and the secretion of the inner plate of the foreskin can not be removed in time, forming scales and stimulating the local foreskin. Symptoms such as erythema and itching of glans penis may appear at the initial stage, and ulceration and exudation may occur in severe cases. It is suggested that the etiology should be examined as soon as possible and symptomatic treatment should be given.

① Candida albicans

Generally, the symptoms of male glans pruritus are erythema on the foreskin and glans, smooth surface and small herpes. Erythema has a clear edge, and there is erosion and exudation during acute attack.

② Annular ulcer

This also makes men's common glans itch, mainly in the glans and foreskin, with erythema, which gradually expands into a ring shape and can form a superficial ulcer surface.

③ Acute superficiality

This is the most common cause of male glans pruritus. Usually at the beginning, there will be local flushing, red and swollen penis skin, and a burning and itchy glans. When the foreskin is opened, it can be seen that the inside of the foreskin and the glans penis are congested and erosive, with exudate and even bleeding. Small ulcers can be seen after secondary infection, and there are malodorous milky purulent secretions.

2, the foreskin is too long

Difficulty in the same room, itching of glans penis, foreskin adhesion, organic premature ejaculation.

3, itching

6, bowenoid papulosis

Papules, itching of glans penis, anal pruritus.

7. Unclean roommates

In sexual life, when infected with some bacteria, there will also be itching of the glans penis. Male friends must pay attention to it, which may develop into balanitis prepuce and endanger men's health.

In real life, the itch of glans penis is mainly caused by balanitis prepuce. Generally, patients with pruritus glans penis are due to bacterial infection and humid climate, and usually do not pay attention to personal hygiene.
