The appearance of male penis is thin, soft, and full of extensibility. The skin is free from the narrow part behind the glans to form a circular fold around the penis, which is the penis. If the foreskin of a boy still completely covers the outer orifice of the urethra when he is young, he needs to turn his hands up to reveal the outer orifice of the urethra and the glans, it is considered that the foreskin is too long.
These conditions can easily lead to the accumulation of urine scale in the foreskin cavity and the dirt in the bath. Over time, the bacteria will multiply and infect the foreskin and penis, causing inflammation of the foreskin and penis, and symptoms of redness, swelling, heat, pain, edema and erosion. At this time, if we do not pay attention to it and take active treatment, penis cancer will be induced under long-term slow stimulation.

Penile cancer usually occurs in middle-aged men over 40 years old. In the early stage, ulcer or papule appeared on the penis head, and later ulcerated into a larger ulcer surface. At the beginning, because the foreskin is too tight to turn up, these lesions covered by the foreskin are not easy to be found, just feel some itching, burning or slight pain inside the foreskin. With the development of the disease, the lesions will break through the foreskin and protrude to the surface of the penis. At this time, you can see the fester on the penis head, or form a cauliflower-like mass, with pus and odor, and finally the whole penis can be festered. And the cancer cells will soon metastasize to the adjacent inguinal lymph nodes or the body, which is very dangerous.
Of course, there are also some non-cancerous changes in the ulcer on the penis. The most common is penile cephalitis or pericarditis, which is characterized by local tissue erosion, redness and pain, and many purulent exudates can be seen. However, as long as the patient is treated in time and washed with anti-inflammatory liquid or smeared with antibiotic ointment, the condition can be quickly controlled; Secondly, the penis, especially when using condoms for contraception, will be allergic to latex materials or talcum powder of condoms, which is manifested by erosion and liquid exudation on the surface of the penis, as well as tingling and itching. However, as long as you wash and keep clean every day, even if you do not use drugs, it will heal within a week. In addition, there are other sexually transmitted diseases that can also cause penis ulcers, which can be cured by antibiotic treatment such as penicillin. Only the festering of penis cancer can not be cured for a long time, and it is indifferent to all kinds of drugs. Therefore, once there is stubborn canker on the penis, it is necessary to be vigilant and check whether there is penis cancer.
For early and limited patients, laser, radiation therapy and chemical drugs (such as smearing bleomycin ointment) can be used to control, but since most patients have reached the middle and late stage of diagnosis, it is better to use surgery. For those with cancer invading the part above the middle of the penis, radical resection (resection) of the penis cancer can be performed, that is, the penis is completely removed from the root of the penis, and the urethra is transplanted to the perineum; If the cancer invaded below the middle of the penis, partial penis resection can be performed, that is, partial penis resection at 2-3 cm above the edge of the cancer, without the need to transplant the urethra. After the operation, the patient can still stand and urinate, and retain certain sexual function, and can have sexual life and even have children.
The most simple and effective measure to prevent penis cancer after circumcision is to perform circumcision as early as possible for those who have too much foreskin in their youth to reduce long-term chronic inflammatory stimulation. Male infants of Jewish nationality were circumcised on the 8th day after birth, and they almost did not suffer from penis cancer; Muslim men underwent circumcision at the age of 4-10, and few of them suffered from penile cancer. Therefore, the government has always advocated early circumcision to prevent penis cancer. As for the best time to do it, Chinese scholars found that those who had undergone circumcision for more than 5 years before the age of 20 rarely had penile cancer. However, the circumcision of infants or preschool children has certain difficulties in operation, anesthesia, nursing and children's psychology. Therefore, infants and preschool children should still focus on strengthening the prepuce health care, often urge or help children to clean the penis, perineum and anus area, pay attention to gently push the prepuce up, and wash off the scale of prepuce as much as possible; When the foreskin or penis is inflamed, warm salt boiled water or light red potassium permanganate solution can be used to soak and wash. After the acute inflammation, soap water can be used to wash; Change your underwear frequently and keep your perineum clean and dry. If the phimosis or prepuce is still too long in adolescence, you should go to a hospital with better conditions to remove the long prepuce. In addition, even if the foreskin is normal, if there is recurrent prepuceitis and balanitis, it should not be taken lightly. You should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
