The phimosis is a narrow foreskin or a foreskin with the head, so that the foreskin cannot be turned over and out. The foreskin is too long.Smuten is divided into congenital and secondary: congenital phimosis can be seen in every normal male newborn and infants, the so -called "physiological phimosis". With the growth and development and erection of 3 to 4 years old, the foreskin can be on its own.Retreating upwards, 90%of phimosis at 3 years old will heal itself.With the development of adolescence, the volume increases, and the foreskin continues to shrink upwards. At the age of 17, only less than 1%of boys will have phimosis; secondary phimosis is mostly caused by head and foreskin infection or damage. Foreskin paralysis shrinks.Most phimosis requires surgical treatment.
It's common in men's foreskin.Among the adult men in my country, 29 % of the foreskin elders.Whether it is phimosis or foreskin long, it has a certain harm to the human body: (1) hindering development and affecting the harmony of sexual life.The phimosis will affect the growth and development. During the adolescence, because the head is tightly wrapped in the foreskin, it is not stimulated by the outside world.Influencing sexual pleasure.Adults will affect normal sexual life due to long foreskin or phimosis.(2) Inflammation.There are rich sebaceous glands in the foreskin that can secrete a large amount of sebum.When the phimosis or foreskin is too long, the secretions of the fault gland of the foreskin cannot be discharged, and the sesame and precipitation in the urine synthesize a cheese -like stinky "foreskin".Foreskin dirt is suitable for bacterial growth, so it can cause inflammation of the head and foreskin.The germs can also cause urinary tract infection through the urethra.For children, the recurred seizures of headers. Due to itching and discomfort, children are easy to develop the habit of squeezing with hands, which can cause hands in the long run.(3) Damage to kidney function.Due to inflammation, it can cause urethral or anterior urethral stenosis and cause difficulty in urination.Difficulty in urination for a long time, the function of the kidney will be damaged.(4) Danger of carcinogenic.Excessive foreskin and phimosis are likely to induce cancer.
There is no need to handle the foreskin when the baby is too long
The phimosis during the infant period is normal. Generally, the phimosis or foreskin is too long.However, whether the foreskin is too long or phimosis should pay attention to cleaning, so as to avoid local inflammation.
However, if the little boy's phimosis affects urination, or repeated inflammation or even urinary tract infection due to the long foreskin, he should be treated as soon as possible to remove the foreskin.If the infection is heavier, you should first cut the back of the foreskin, and then perform the surgery of the foreskin.
Generally speaking, foreskin surgery should be selected after puberty.This is because the foreskin ring is implemented under local anesthesia, but for children, it is generally impossible to tolerate local anesthesia and requires systemic anesthesia.Therefore, it is best to consider implementing it when adolescence does not need to be anesthesia after adolescence.
