Phimosis has always been a health issue that troubles males, and it is also one of the most common clinical male diseases. The harm caused by it can be significant. Not only can it lead to inflammatory flare-ups, but it may even affect the normal development of the reproductive organ. Therefore, male friends must seek treatment as soon as possible to reduce the harm caused by phimosis. So, what are the harms of phimosis to males?
1. Premature Ejaculation
Phimosis can make the glans very sensitive, leading to easy ejaculation during sexual intercourse, which can eventually result in premature ejaculation. This affects male sexual life and causes significant psychological pressure on males.
2. Impact on the Development of Reproductive Organs
During adolescence, if the glans is tightly wrapped by the foreskin and does not receive external stimulation, the development of the glans will be limited. This leads to a decrease in the circumference of the glans coronal part after the reproductive organs mature, affecting sexual pleasure.
3. Balanoposthitis
The inner layer of the foreskin contains many secretion glands that provide lubrication. However, if the secretions are not cleaned in time, it facilitates the reproduction of bacteria, leading to inflammation.
4. Inflammation of the Reproductive Organs
Inside the foreskin, there are abundant sebaceous glands that continuously secrete lipid substances like a large garbage factory, which can accumulate and form foul-smelling smegma. If the foreskin is too long, it hinders the discharge of these lipid substances, creating an environment conducive to bacterial growth, causing the glans to become infected and leading to balanitis. Subsequently, the bacteria can spread through the urethra, infecting the urogenital system and causing various inflammations.
