      Foreskin is a common problem among many men. Some young men think that foreskin is not a problem, right? healthy It won't cause any harm, in fact this is a big misunderstanding. The foreskin of an adult man is too long and is actually a kind of genital disease . It will not only affect sexual life, but also affect daily work and life, and even cause penile cancer.

      male Dangers of too long foreskin:

      1. Cause inflammation of foreskin and glans penis

      The annoying smegma appears on every part of the body skin Just like sebum is secreted, the sebaceous glands of the foreskin also secrete sebum. Because phimosis or an overly long foreskin cannot be turned upward, this sebum accumulates in the gap between the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans penis. At the same time, urine will also penetrate into this gap and react chemically with the sebum, producing smelly smegma. Smegma is suitable for bacterial growth, so it can cause inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin.

      2. Influence on penis growth and development

      Phimosis will affect the growth and development of the penis. In adolescence, because the glans penis is tightly wrapped by the foreskin and does not receive due stimulation from the outside world, the development of the glans penis will be greatly restricted. After the sexual organs have matured, the circumference of the crown of the penis head is significantly smaller, which affects sexual pleasure. This is one of the dangers of men having too long foreskin.
