Sexual Health
The foreskin is too long, and sexually transmitted diseases are difficult to heal. There are many harmful effects
The white dirt inside your foreskin is called foreskin scaling, which is a mixture of wax gland secretions and epithelial desquamation from the foreskin. "Scald on the foreskin can irritate the glans, and bacteria and viruses can cause foreskin balanitis. Your glans and foreskin are red, with many small red papules on them, which is a sign of foreskin balanitis.". Prolonged stimulation of foreskin scaling and recurrent onset of foreskin balanitis can lead to penis cancer. After marriage, foreskin scaling, viruses, bacteria, etc. enter the wife's body, and can also cause cervical cancer in women.
"If the foreskin of patients with sexually transmitted diseases such as condyloma acuminatum and gonorrhea is too long, the disease will often recur or persist. Most of the male patients with chronic sexually transmitted diseases diagnosed and treated in our center are those with excessively long foreskin. We know that condyloma acuminatum often occurs in wet areas, as evidenced by the presence of condyloma acuminatum in wet areas such as the coronal groove of the penis and the circumference of the anus. In addition, decreased local and systemic immunity is also a common cause of recurrence of condyloma acuminatum.".
"People with long foreskins are always wet inside their foreskins. A humid environment can stimulate the growth of condyloma acuminatum. In addition, the stimulation of foreskin scale and balanitis of the foreskin can reduce local immunity, making it easy for condyloma acuminatum to recur.".
"After suffering from gonorrhea, the urethra often exudes pus or mucus. When the foreskin is too long, inflammatory secretions cannot flow smoothly and accumulate within the foreskin. The gonococci in the secretions can also invade the urethra, which means that they are constantly infected, leading to the persistence of gonorrhea. In addition, the inflammatory secretions accumulated within the foreskin make the foreskin more humid, and gonococci can also cause foreskin and glans inflammation. If patients with gonorrhea with an excessively long foreskin are combined with acute inflammation Condyloma is more likely to cause recurrence of condyloma acuminatum. "This is the reason why your gonorrhea has been incurable for a long time and your condyloma acuminatum has repeatedly erupted."
What to do if the foreskin is too long
After listening to me, Mr. Li quickly asked, "What can I do?" I told him that people with long foreskins should pay attention to frequent cleaning and keep the local area dry and clean, but the best way is to undergo circumcision. Circumcision surgery is a small surgery that can be performed in an outpatient clinic without causing too much damage or suffering. As for patients with sexually transmitted diseases, especially those suffering from chronic gonorrhea and condyloma acuminatum, if the foreskin is too long, it is necessary to undergo circumcision surgery to ensure a complete cure of gonorrhea and minimize the recurrence of condyloma acuminatum.
It is best for patients with gonorrhea to undergo surgery after inflammation is controlled. Before and after surgery, anti inflammatory drugs should be used to control infection to prevent gonococci from entering the blood during the surgery. Patients with condyloma acuminatum should also undergo surgery after treatment, as there has been a precedent for surgery leading to the spread of condyloma acuminatum, causing the surgical site to be covered with condyloma acuminatum.
