In traditional Chinese men, when they were young, their parents did not pay attention to the appearance of their genitals. When they grew up, they discovered that they had phimosis or excessive foreskin. At this time, it was difficult to speak to their families. Either endure it yourself, or silently search for remedies. Experts suggest that male friends who have excessive foreskin should go in for circumcision in a timely manner to avoid the occurrence of foreskin balanitis.
The best way to treat phimosis
What is phimosis? Briefly speaking, phimosis refers to the narrowing of the foreskin opening or adhesion of the foreskin to the penis head, which prevents the foreskin covering the penis from turning over to expose the urethral opening and the penis head. What is a long foreskin? "Prolonged prepuce refers to the prepuce covering the urethral orifice, but can be turned up to reveal the urethral orifice and penis head.". Generally, children can turn upside down after the age of 3, when the mild adhesion between the penis and the foreskin disappears spontaneously. However, the upturned foreskin in childhood often covers the urethral orifice, and the penis gradually exposes itself until puberty. "When the adult penis becomes soft again, the foreskin does not cover the urethral orifice, and the upturned foreskin can reveal the coronary groove, which is a normal length of foreskin.".
"When phimosis is is severe, the foreskin opening may be very narrow, sometimes accompanied by stricture of the urethral opening, which affects urination.". Prolonged foreskin can cause foreskin scale to accumulate within the foreskin, causing foreskin penile inflammation. Repeated inflammation can cause the foreskin opening to narrow and adhere to the penis head to form a phimosis. Penile cancer may be related to long-term irritation of foreskin. Therefore, for people with phimosis and excessive foreskin, surgical treatment should be carried out as soon as possible. "The practice of castration of boys by ethnic minorities in China is very scientific.". It is worth mentioning that although an excessively long foreskin has little impact on health, it can sometimes cause incarcerated phimosis due to the narrow opening of the foreskin, which means that the foreskin is tightly trapped outside the coronal groove of the penis and cannot be pushed down. At this time, manual repositioning should be carried out as soon as possible. If the manual repositioning cannot be carried out, a doctor should be asked to open the tight prepuce mouth and then perform circumcision. Infants born in hospitals can consider undergoing an operation to avoid future trouble.
