Distinguish between the true and false foreskin with excessive foreskin at two points, and pay attention to cleaning if the foreskin is too long
Long foreskin is a common problem among male friends, but there are also true and false foreskin. Can you distinguish them clearly? What should be done when the true foreskin is too long?
Two points to distinguish whether the foreskin is too long
1. Men judge whether they have excessive foreskin by the exposure of their glans. "After a man reaches adulthood, when the penis is weak, all or most of the glans is exposed. If the glans cannot be exposed, the foreskin still covers all or most of the glans, but the foreskin can be turned up by hand or the foreskin can be turned up after an erection to expose the glans, which is called excessive foreskin.".
2. Male foreskin can be divided into true foreskin and false foreskin. Genuine redundant foreskin refers to the inability to fully expose the glans after erection of the penis. "When you want to expose your glans, you can experience pain, making it difficult to have sex.". Pseudo foreskin refers to the fact that the glans cannot be fully exposed at ordinary times, but can be fully exposed and have sex after the penis has been erected. Most men have a condition of pseudo redundant foreskin.
Attention should be paid to cleaning and preventing infection when the foreskin is too long
When taking a bath, use your hands to withdraw the foreskin behind the glans to remove accumulated dirt and sebum. Due to the fact that the inner plate of the foreskin is thinner and wetter than the outer plate, and is more sensitive to chemical cleaning agents, it is only necessary to rinse the foreskin glans with clean water once a day. If you use soap, shower gel to clean, and do not wash the foam clean, many people will have allergic reactions to the foreskin and glans, and feel uncomfortable.
In case of inflammation caused by accumulation of dirt between the foreskin and glans, it is best to soak and scrub with a special vulva disinfection and cleaning solution. In serious cases, consult a specialist. "If it is phimosis, it is often not possible to thoroughly clean the foreskin dirt. Even if the foreskin can be turned upside down, it is also prone to foreskin incarceration. It is recommended to perform circumcision as soon as possible.".
"If the foreskin is too long and causes glans inflammation, seek medical attention in a timely manner. Wash the penis with the correct method to avoid infection. Male friends need to pay special attention.".
Under what circumstances does circumcision surgery need to be performed?
It mainly aims at the following two situations:
1. "Prolonged prepuce: When the penis is weak, the prepuce covers the penis head and even the urethral orifice, but can be artificially turned up to expose the urethral orifice and penis head;";
2. Phimosis: refers to the narrow opening of the foreskin, which cannot be turned up to reveal the penis head.
"The phimosis must be cut. If the foreskin is too long, depending on the specific situation, some people can choose not to cut it, but they should keep it clean.".
