Patient's question:
My husband has excessive foreskin, and the duration of each sexual encounter is very short, which makes neither of us interested. The doctor said it's important to get treated in a timely manner, otherwise it may not only affect sexual life but also potentially lead to gynecological diseases in women. What are the effects of excessive foreskin on the body?Doctor's answer:
When phimosis or excessive prepuce occurs, the secretions of the sebaceous glands under the prepuce cannot be expelled, gradually forming foul-smelling smegma. Smegma is conducive to bacterial growth, which can lead to inflammation of the glans penis and prepuce. Inflammation at the urethral orifice may also occur, and scarring can result in urethral stenosis, causing difficulty in urination. Long-term stimulation of the glans penis by smegma may also lead to penile cancer. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
