    The appearance of male foreskin needs to be determined according to the type of foreskin, which is divided into true foreskin and false foreskin.

    1. True foreskin is too long

    When the penis is erect, the glans cannot be fully exposed, and it is not easy to clean during cleaning. It is easy for smegma to accumulate, which affects male reproductive health.

    2. False foreskin

    In daily life, the glans cannot be exposed to the outside, but when the penis is erect, the glans can be completely exposed to the outside. It is also easier to turn the glans out with your hands when cleaning.

    Male foreskin is a common urological disease. It means that the foreskin covers the glans and cannot be completely exposed. It is easy for bacteria to breed and smegma to accumulate, which can induce balanitis. Therefore, when foreskin is too long, , should be cleaned regularly. You can open the foreskin to expose the glans inside, and rinse it with water. When there is no inflammation, surgical treatment is usually not required. If balanitis occurs repeatedly, surgical treatment, such as circumcision, should be performed.

    Within one month after the operation, you should keep your lower body hygienic and wait until you have recovered before having sex. You also need to wash it with warm water. Underwear should be changed regularly. Try not to wear it too tight. You need to choose pure cotton material.
