1. What is foreskin?
The prepuce is a part of the male external genitalia, which refers to the skin of the penis folded into a double layer at the head of the penis. In infancy, the foreskin is longer. Wrapping around the penis makes the penis and the external orifice of the urethra not exposed. With the growth of age, the penis and foreskin gradually develop. By puberty, the foreskin recedes, until the penis is completely exposed in adulthood, but about 85% of adults, the foreskin still completely covers the penis.
2. What is redundant prepuce and phimosis?
(1) Phimosis refers to that the opening of the foreskin is too small, so that the foreskin cannot be turned up to reveal the glans, which can be divided into two types. First, it is congenital phimosis, mainly seen in infants and young children, which can be normal physiological. With the growth of the penis, the continuous accumulation of foreskin scale under the foreskin and intermittent penis erection gradually separate the foreskin and penis head. Therefore, infants and young children generally do not need surgical treatment unless there is a needle tip like foreskin mouth shadow that affects urination or infection. Acquired phimosis is mainly seen in adult males with a small prepuce mouth due to long-term infection in the prepuce cavity, which requires timely surgical treatment.
(2) Too long foreskin means that the foreskin covers all the glans, and the foreskin opening is not small, which can be turned up to reveal the glans. This disease is related to heredity and can be divided into true prepuce and false prepuce. If the true foreskin is too long, the glans can not be completely exposed after the penis is erect; The false foreskin is too long, which means that the glans cannot be completely exposed when the penis is flat and weak, but the glans can be completely exposed after the penis is erect.
Many female friends have fallen into a misunderstanding, thinking that their diseases must be their own. In fact, gynecological diseases have a very important relationship with sexual partners. For example, the long foreskin of men will affect women's health. So what harm does the long foreskin do to women?
1. Leading to the occurrence of gynecological diseases
If the male foreskin is too long, it is easy to produce a sanitary dead angle, which makes the foreskin scale accumulate. In addition, the residual urine and semen at ordinary times will create good conditions for the regeneration of bacteria. Therefore, if you have sex and life at this time, the foreskin scale will be brought into the female's vagina. If it continues, it will also lead to the occurrence of female reproductive infections, such as trichomonal vaginitis, mycoplasma vaginitis, chlamydia infection, etc.
2. Inflammation
The long male foreskin will lead to abnormal changes in female leucorrhea. Generally, the abnormal leucorrhea is mainly reflected in the obvious increase in the quantity of leucorrhea, which is mostly in the form of cheese or bean curd residue, the color is yellow or green, and there is also an unpleasant smell, which indicates that the body is suffering from genital tract inflammation.
3. Cause cervical cancer
Clinically, about 85% - 95% of patients with penile cancer have a history of phimosis or redundant prepuce, while the wife suffering from cervical cancer is also related to the stimulation of the husband's prepuce.
