Similarly, the inner skin is called the inner plate, and the outer skin is called the foreskin. Two layers of skin wrap around the glans, forming a small opening at the end, called the foreskin opening. The glans and urethra are hidden inside the foreskin opening. "If the opening of the foreskin is too small to allow the foreskin to turn up, it is medically known as phimosis.". The incidence of phimosis was 6.31%.
In early childhood, there is a layer of epithelial cells on the inner plate of the foreskin that adhere to the glans. The foreskin and glans are like a whole. If the foreskin is forcibly removed from the glans, it can cause discomfort or pain. During childhood, as the penis continues to develop, especially at night or during urination, the penis naturally erects from time to time, causing the foreskin to elongate and then retract. The back and forth movement causes the foreskin to slowly peel off from the glans, gradually separating the foreskin from the glans, and the foreskin opening becomes wider due to the repeated expansion of the penis erection. Due to the elastic retraction of the foreskin, as well as the longer and larger the glans, the larger the foreskin opening. By puberty, the glans gradually reveals the "true face of Mount Lushan". Both the glans and the urethral opening are exposed outside the foreskin opening, making the "scene" of temporary excessive foreskin in childhood disappear without trace.
However, many boys reach puberty, and the "sandwich leather coat" still "wears" and cannot be taken off, with the glans hidden deep inside. This is due to the fact that some "fur coats" are "designed" too long during embryogenesis, and despite the long-term efforts of the penis, the glans is still hidden within the foreskin, which manifests as being too long or even phimosis.
"To achieve perfect foreskin development in all boys, it is not enough to rely solely on the natural movement of the penis. If the foreskin can be artificially and frequently turned up and turned, the foreskin opening can be artificially expanded gradually, and the separation speed between the foreskin and the glans can be accelerated, which can reduce the incidence of excessive foreskin or phimosis. This is the most simple and effective method.".
How to help the development of foreskin? How much length is appropriate for each turn? This is a scientific question. The degree of turnover of the foreskin should be determined based on the different states of the individual foreskin. Generally, for the first time, you should gently try to turn it over. If the foreskin is easily turned over to reveal the glans, and the child does not have obvious discomfort, such foreskin does not require much effort. As the penis develops, the foreskin will slowly retract, and without turning it, phimosis will not occur. "For those who, due to the small opening of the foreskin, cannot reveal their glans outward, and have significant discomfort or even pain when flipping, they should not be forced to do so. Instead, they should gradually expand the foreskin slightly. Under multiple artificial expansions, the opening of the foreskin will slowly expand, and the foreskin will slowly shorten, eventually causing the hidden glans to" emerge. "".
The development of the foreskin is not a temporary matter, it takes several years of slow progress. Therefore, manual turnover of the foreskin cannot rely on one or several times to achieve the goal. It must not be done too quickly, which can backfire and even cause laceration and infection of the foreskin, but instead aggravate the lesions of the foreskin. Therefore, it is best to perform the first few times of manual turnover of the foreskin under the guidance of a physician.
