Patient's question:
I have noticed phimosis for 3 months.Doctor's answer:
Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:I. Causes inflammation of the penis: The foreskin contains a rich supply of sebaceous glands that secrete a large amount of sebum. When phimosis (reduced foreskin retraction) or excessive foreskin occurs, the secretions of these sebaceous glands cannot be expelled. Sebum and precipitates from urine combine to form a cheesy, foul-smelling substance called "smegma." Smegma is conducive to bacterial growth, which can lead to inflammation of the glans penis and the foreskin.
II. Damages kidney function: Due to penis inflammation, the urethral meatus or the anterior urethra may become narrowed, causing difficulties with urination. Long-term difficulties with urination can damage kidney function.
III. Hinders penis development and affects sexual harmony: Phimosis can hinder the development of the penis. During puberty, if the glans penis is tightly covered by the foreskin and does not receive the appropriate external stimulation, the development of the glans penis is significantly restricted. This results in a noticeably smaller circumference of the corona of the glans penis after the sexual organs have matured, affecting sexual pleasure.
IV. Carries the risk of cancer: Excessive foreskin and phimosis can potentially lead to penile cancer. Modern scientific research indicates that smegma is a carcinogen. According to surveys, 85%-95% of penile cancer patients have phimosis or excessive foreskin.
