Patient's question:
I am a college student. Recently, when having sex with my girlfriend, I always suffer from premature ejaculation. I don't know how it happened, and we are both very frustrated. Later, I asked a classmate who studies medicine, and they said it's due to excessive foreskin. How should I handle excessive foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Penile prepuce elongation, although it belongs to developmental abnormalities or minor issues, often leads to incomplete emptying of the last few drops of urine. This can result in the accumulation of cells shed from the prepuce, along with mucus or bacteria, forming smegma in a warm and moist environment. This smegma can irritate the glans, leading to balanoposthitis. Long-term inflammation can increase immune function and potentially lead to penile cancer. The condition of penile prepuce elongation tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, male patients should immediately seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
