Excessive foreskin in men is also one of the causes of infertility

The foreskin is the soft layer of skin on the outside of the glans penis. Babies have longer foreskins and smaller openings. It is outside the glans penis and protects the delicate glans. As we age, the foreskin gradually shrinks to the back of the glans penis. In youth, the foreskin appears naturally as the genitals develop, exposing the entire penis and glans.

If the foreskin still completely covers the glans and cannot appear at all during the adolescent development stage, it is called phimosis. If you can show up, but you can't expose the glans regularly, it's called prepuce.

Excessive foreskin and phimosis are common diseases among male adolescents. However, this can easily be overlooked due to a lack of parental knowledge and guidance. If teenagers have excessive foreskin and phimosis and do not pay attention to hygiene, they will cause a series of diseases and have a negative impact on their sexual life and fertility after marriage.

1 Easily cause various inflammations

Although the foreskin is too long, it will not affect urination, but it will contain dirt and grime. In particular, the foreskin will secrete a white secretion called periderm. The periderm irritates the glans penis for a long time, especially the coronal sulcus, which can easily lead to peridermitis and penicillitis. Bacterial infections in the foreskin cavity can also lead to cystitis, pyelonephritis, and prostatitis.

Easy to induce penile cancer

Chronic irritation of the periderm is a cause of penile cancer. According to surveys, most patients with penile cancer have phimosis.

3 is easy to cause masturbation

Irritated scaling and dermatitis can easily lead to masturbation.

4 It is easy to affect sexual life

Recurrent inflammation of the foreskin can easily lead to adhesion of the glans and foreskin, restricting penile erection and causing pain during sexual intercourse. This will not only lead to disharmony in the sexual life of couples, but also lead to psychological sexual dysfunction.

5 easily lead to embedded phimosis

When the penis is erect, the foreskin cannot be turned down after being rolled up, and the foreskin mouth will stick to the glans to form embedded phimosis. At this time, the glans may become edema due to poor blood flow, and may become necrotic in severe cases.

6 can easily lead to infertility

Prostatitis caused by encrustation infection can affect the movement of sperm in semen and the viscosity of semen, leading to infertility.

7 easily affect women’s health

Because there are many bacteria in the scales, they can invade a woman's vagina during sexual intercourse and cause infection. Long-term stimulation of scaling is also one of the factors leading to cervical cancer in women.
