Too long foreskin means that the foreskin covers the whole glans when the penis is in a loose state. If the foreskin not only covers the whole glans, but also the foreskin mouth is narrow, the foreskin cannot be turned out. This state is called phimosis in medicine.
Whether the foreskin is too long or phimosis, its characteristic is that the foreskin covers the glans and urethral orifice for a long time, so that the mucus secreted by the glands in the inner plate of the foreskin, the urethra, the coronary groove and other parts cannot be discharged and accumulated in the foreskin.
With the "irrigation" of urine, the foreskin and the local area of the coronal groove become a good breeding area for bacteria. Those secretions and the organic components in urine become the natural "grain depot" of bacteria. The bacteria multiply and thrive in the fertile breeding bags with appropriate temperature and humidity, and occasionally "make waves" in the local area. Especially in summer, when the gland secretion of the human body is vigorous, it just provides sufficient nutrition for the bacteria, and the bacterial family also thrives.
They mainly cause glans foreskin inflammation, manifested as local redness, papules, ulcers, and so on. Some patients may invade the prostate, seminal vesicle, epididymis, testicles and other male reproductive systems due to the bacteria developing into the human body in depth along the urethra. Especially for patients with phimosis, a large amount of secretions cannot be discharged, and deposition can form foreskin scale. Children with phimosis often see concave-convex "bumps" on the foreskin surface. These "bumps" are foreskin scale.
Too long foreskin can cause the following problems:
Obstructs penis development and affects the harmony of sexual life
The phimosis will affect the growth and development of the penis. In adolescence, because the penis head is tightly wrapped by the foreskin and cannot be stimulated by the outside world, the development of the penis head is greatly constrained, resulting in a significantly smaller circumference of the crown of the penis head after the development of sexual organs, which affects sexual pleasure.
The penis is inflamed, and there are abundant sebaceous glands in the foreskin, which can secrete a large amount of sebum. When the phimosis or foreskin is too long, the secretion of sebaceous glands in the foreskin can not be discharged, and the sediment in sebum and urine can form a cheese-like and smelly "foreskin scale".
Damage to renal function. Inflammation of the penis can cause urethral orifice or anterior urethral stricture, causing difficulty in urination. If urination is difficult for a long time, the function of the kidney will be damaged.
