Most male friends do not really consider the foreskin that long seriously, and some of them don’t even know that they have a foreskin, not to mention the dangers of foreskin. Foreskin excess is a situation, in which, the foreskin is still able to cover the opening of the urethra in the case of the penis being raised. So what are the dangers of having a long foreskin? Next, I will explain it for you all.
What are the dangers of having a long foreskin?
1. Penile development is affected
Neglecting the event of too much foreskin can cause the development of the penis to go in a wrong way during the growth period of the male reproductive system, resulting in the penis being short and even the occurrence of phimosis. The presence of excessive foreskin impedes the penis from achieving the proper stimulation, heightens the sensitivity of the penis, especially the glans, thus affecting the normal development of the penis, and negatively impacting the future sexual experience. Phimosis as a result of the grown-up stage can only cause a person to experience a lot of pain and can even develop to the level of necrosis of the glans. It was just too late to regret it.
2. Cause sexual dysfunction
Excessive foreskin can also cause sexual dysfunction in men. Excessive foreskin allows the foreskin to wrap around the penis for a long time, resulting in a particularly high sensitivity of the penis, and the desire to ejaculate if it is slightly stimulated. In sexual life, this situation is not so good. Excessive sensitivity will cause men to ejaculate too fast. In severe cases, impotence and premature ejaculation will occur. At that time, it is really embarrassing and embarrassing, and the relationship between husband and wife will also be affected. A certain impact.
3. Cause inflammation
There are a lot of sebaceous glands inside the foreskin, and these sebaceous glands release a big quantity of sebum every day. If the foreskin is too long, these sebum will then pile up at the glans and they cannot get out. The sebum is an excellent place for bacteria production and bacteria multiply in it and thus inflammation occurs. The condition of excessive foreskin makes it easy for infection of both foreskinitis and balanitis. The bacteria that enter the urethra through the urethral opening at the glans can also cause inflammation of the urinary system.
4. Damage the kidneys
Overlong foreskin can make it hard for the urine to be completely emptied from the urethral opening, therefore, the men who are afflicted with this condition urinate incompletely most of the time. As time goes by, urinary disorders will develop and if the disorders are not treated, they will lead to pyelography – a condition where the kidneys are damaged.
5. Affect the reproductive health of the other half
The condition of excessive foreskin can cause smegma to develop which becomes a habitat for a large number of bacteria. The bacteria that are going to be transferred to the vagina through sexual intercourse and then rapidly causing the vagina to become inflamed, and thus, it will affect the woman’s reproductive health.
Hospital Warm reminder: : Many men who have excessive foreskin avoid medical treatment due to the awkward location, resulting in irreparable consequences. If the foreskin is too long, it must be treated. Do not delay the time to avoid unnecessary harm.
