What are the effects of excessive foreskin?

In daily life, many men have a long foreskin. Generally, during the pubertal period, if you find a long foreskin, it is best to go to the hospital for a physical examination in time and make improvements through surgical treatment. Only by circumcising the too-long foreskin immediately through surgery can side effects be avoided. Otherwise, a long foreskin may affect the subsequent growth and development of the male genitalia, or even cause decreased sexual performance. So, what is the reason for the long foreskin?

What is the reason for the long foreskin?

Long foreskin refers to a symptom that a man's foreskin covers the urethral opening, but can turn up to expose the urethral opening and glans penis. This type of disease is generally related to genetic inheritance and can be divided into two types: pseudo-long foreskin and pathological long foreskin. When inflammation and other effects occur due to long foreskin, treatment should be carried out as soon as possible through circumcision surgery. For those with normal foreskin without inflammation and normal penis length, the overlong foreskin can be cleaned frequently. If it has no impact on the growth of the male genitals and does not reduce sexual function, surgical treatment is not required.

What harm does growing foreskin cause to the body?

1. Cause inflammation of penis

Foreskin growth usually causes some human damage. If foreskin growth is not treated in time, it is easy to cause local inflammation, such as common male genital inflammation and foreskin growth. The long foreskin can easily hide stains. These stains can cause irritation to the male genitals for a long time and may lead to the development of local inflammation. Therefore, if foreskin is usually found, it needs to be treated as soon as possible.

2. Affect the development of boys

Long foreskin can easily cause growth restriction in boys. Generally, during puberty, if the foreskin is found to be long, the foreskin that is too long can be surgically circumcised. Otherwise, the foreskin is too long and the glans of the penis is wrapped by the foreskin. It cannot grow normally. At this time, the man's penis may also be shortened. Therefore, the condition of foreskin growth should be treated as soon as possible after discovery, otherwise the normal growth and development of the penis will be affected.

3. Reduce male sex work ability

If a man has symptoms of foreskin growth, it may have an impact on his sexual life. Especially for men with too long foreskin and smaller sizes, the foreskin cannot be turned back up, so it is easy for the foreskin to get stuck in the coronal sulcus. In this way, men may experience penile pain during sex, or even edema. In severe cases, it may cause necrosis of the male glans.

4. Affects kidney function and physical and mental health

Men's long foreskin may affect their kidney function and health, because men with long foreskin are more likely to suffer from penile inflammation. Inflammation of the male genitals can cause urethral opening and anterior urethra stenosis, leading to poor urination. Long-term poor urination can cause damage to human kidney function. Therefore, when symptoms such as foreskin elongation are discovered, treatment needs to be taken immediately.
