A man's phimosis, from the appearance, is just like that, and the glans cannot be exposed. However, it is important to consider whether your phimosis requires timely surgery, and to have an understanding of the type of phimosis. If you also have phimosis, do you know the type of phimosis you have?
Phimosis is caused by narrowing of the opening of the foreskin or adhesion between the foreskin and the penis after inflammation, which prevents the penis from being turned up and exposed. Congenital phimosis can be divided into congenital and acquired phimosis. Congenital phimosis can be divided into atrophic and hypertrophy. Acquired phimosis is is caused by inflammation, trauma, and other causes of adhesion and stenosis of the foreskin mouth. Congenital phimosis follows the growth and erection of the penis, and the foreskin can retract upward to reveal the glans penis.
Common classification of phimosis:
1、 Acquired phimosis: The narrowing of the foreskin caused by inflammation or trauma that prevents the foreskin from turning up is called acquired phimosis.
2、 "Encapsulation of the foreskin: refers to the complication of phimosis. When the foreskin is forcibly turned over to the coronal groove due to the narrow opening of the foreskin, a tight band of narrow loops are formed there, resulting in incarcerated phimosis.".
3、 Atrophic phimosis: The foreskin is short and thin, tightly covering the penis head, and the two adhere together, limiting the development of the penis. Therefore, the penis is short and small, the penis head is deformed, and even presents a hard and flexible structure of contracture.
4、 Hypertrophic phimosis: The foreskin is thickened and overlong, causing laborious urination, and the urinary line becomes thin and bifurcated. In patients with severe stenosis of the prepuce orifice, the prepuce sac is first filled with urine and becomes spherical, then the urine is discharged.
"There are true and false phimosis, do you know?"?
1. Genuine phimosis: Genuine phimosis is different from pseudophimosis in that the opening of the genuine foreskin is very narrow, and it can be very painful to separate the foreskin from the glans, making it impossible to peel off the foreskin. In addition, when the glans and foreskin adhere, if you simply peel them off, they may tear, which is very dangerous. The peeled area may cause inflammation and other serious consequences, so it is not allowed to forcibly peel off the foreskin.
2. Pseudophimosis: When the penis is erect, pulling it down with your hand will expose the glans, and even automatically break out during erection. "Most phimosis are pseudosexual, so there is no barrier to sexual activity, which means that the foreskin is too long. It is recommended to undergo circumcision during adolescence, as patients with reproductive infections are mostly people with long and untreated phimosis and foreskin.".
Warm reminder: For the sake of your own health, if you have excessive foreskin or phimosis, even if there are no major obstacles currently, this is a health hazard. The harm of phimosis is great, and it is recommended to have a foreskin operation as soon as possible.
