What kind of harm can excessive foreskin cause to the body?

Patient's question:

I have had phimosis since I was a child and have never gone to the hospital.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is prone to cause various infectious diseases, the most common being balanoposthitis. Moreover, due to the long-term protected state of the glans, it can lead to symptoms such as short penis and premature ejaculation. Men with excessive foreskin should seek medical treatment early for surgical intervention, such as circumcision. For non-inflammatory cases of excessive foreskin, it is not necessary to undergo surgery as long as the foreskin is regularly retracted and cleaned.
