Phimosis has long been a concern for men’s health and is one of the most common clinical male diseases, which can cause significant harm. Not only can it lead to inflammation outbreaks, but it may also affect the normal development of the genitals. Therefore, male friends must seek treatment as soon as possible to reduce the harm caused by phimosis. So, what are the hazards of phimosis for men?
1. Premature ejaculation
Phimosis can make the glans very sensitive, leading to easy ejaculation during sexual activity. If this persists, it can result in premature ejaculation, affecting men’s sexual life and causing a lot of psychological pressure.
2. Impact on genital development
During adolescence, when the glans are tightly covered by the foreskin and do not receive external stimulation, the development of the glans may be restricted. This can cause a decrease in the circumference of the glans crown after genital maturity, affecting sexual pleasure.
3. Balanitis
The foreskin contains numerous secretory glands that produce lubricating secretions. However, if these secretions are not cleaned in a timely manner, it can promote bacterial growth, leading to inflammation.
4. Genital inflammation
Inside the foreskin, there are abundant sebaceous glands that produce lipid substances like a huge waste disposal site, leaking out lipid substances every day. If the foreskin is too long, it can obstruct the discharge of these lipid substances, leading to the formation of foul-smelling smegma.
Smegma is an ideal place for bacterial growth, causing a large number of bacteria to multiply, resulting in glans infection leading to balanitis. Bacteria then proceed through the urethra, infecting the urogenital system and causing various inflammations in the urogenital system.
