Patient's question:
I have always felt that I am quite normal, but recently, after engaging in sexual activity, I realized that I might have a problem with phimosis and excessive prepuce. It looks very uncomfortable, and I'm also afraid of harming my partner.What kind of help do I need: What are the dangers of phimosis and excessive prepuce in men?
Doctor's answer:
Excessive foreskin can easily lead to the accumulation of smegma, causing the glans to become poorly ventilated and stuffy. The residual urine left behind can introduce bacteria, leading to conditions such as balanitis, posthitis, and various inflammatory issues in the urinary system. Additionally, excessive foreskin can affect the development of the penis, resulting in a shorter penis. During sexual activity, it may cause recurring cases of impotence and premature ejaculation. It can also lead to the transmission of gynecological infections in women.
