For male friends, whether children or adult men, phimosis is too long. This situation needs to be treated in time to avoid causing some diseases, so what is phimosis?
What is too long?
Long phimosis refers to long foreskin, narrow foreskin mouth or adhesion between foreskin and penis hair after inflammation, and the penis head cannot be exposed. The phimosis can be divided into congenital and acquired phimosis. The congenital phimosis can be divided into atrophic type and hypertrophy type. The acquired phimosis system inflammation and trauma make the foreskin mouth adhesion narrow. Long phimosis is a congenital malformation. The phimosis and foreskin of newborn babies are too long. By the age of 78, the foreskin begins to turn over. Some (about 8%) people who do not turn over form phimosis.
What are the symptoms of long phimosis
1. The foreskin is small and tight
If the male prepuce mouth is small, it will become difficult to turn over. However, if the opening of the prepuce is relatively tight, the prepuce can be turned over to the coronal groove with force, but it cannot recover naturally. It needs external force to recover. The picture of normal foreskin length shows the opposite.
2. The rate of prepuce coverage is too high
Relevant personnel said that when the male foreskin covers the glans or most of the glans, the glans should not be exposed when erecting, but can be exposed after pulling down the foreskin. There is no normal foreskin length photo.
3. Dysuria
Normal prepuce length shows that the male urinates normally, and the male with prepuce disease has difficulty urinating in the last few drops after urinating. The prepuce is spherical and urinates difficultly.
What to do if the phimosis is too long
For congenital phimosis in infancy, the prepuce can be turned up repeatedly to expand the prepuce mouth. The technique should be gentle and not too eager to shrink the foreskin. When the penis head is exposed, clean the foreskin scale, apply antibiotic ointment or liquid paraffin to lubricate it, and then restore the foreskin, otherwise it will cause incarcerated phimosis. Most children can be cured with this method as they grow older. Only a few children need circumcision. For foreskin incarceration, they need to implement manual reduction urgently, and cut the back of foreskin if necessary.
The patients with acquired phimosis need circumcision because of the fibrous narrow ring at the prepuce mouth. The indications are as follows: there is a fibrous narrow ring at the prepuce mouth. The foreskin of the penis has repeated attacks. After 6 years old, the foreskin mouth is narrow.
