If the foreskin not only covers the entire glans, but also has a narrow opening and the foreskin cannot be turned out, this state is medically called prepuce.
The foreskin covers the urethral opening, but can be turned up to reveal the urethral opening and the head of the penis. Boys can generally flip up after the age of 3 when the mild adhesion between the head of the penis and the foreskin disappears on its own. However, in childhood, the urethral orifice is often covered by the upturned foreskin, and the head of the penis is only gradually exposed in adolescence. In adults, when the penis is soft, the foreskin does not cover the urethral orifice, and the foreskin can be turned up to reveal the coronal groove, which is the normal length of the foreskin. The foreskin is too long to make the foreskin scale accumulate in the foreskin, causing foreskin glansitis. Repeated inflammation may reduce the size of the foreskin opening and make it adhere to the head of the penis and become a prepuce. Penile cancer may be related to long-term stimulation of foreskin scale.
Narrow foreskin opening or adhesion between foreskin and head of penis, so that foreskin covering penis cannot be turned over to reveal urethral opening and head of penis. In severe cases of circumcision, the opening of the foreskin may be very narrow, sometimes accompanied by the narrowing of the urethral opening, which affects urination.
Therefore, surgery should be carried out as early as possible for people who are circumcised or circumcised. It is worth mentioning that, although the foreskin is not a big influence on health, sometimes the foreskin mouth is narrow and forms an embedded prepuce, that is, the foreskin is tightly strangled outside the coronal sulcus of the penis can not be pushed down. In this case, you should reset it by hand as soon as possible, and if you can’t reset it by hand, you should ask your doctor to cut open the tightly strangled foreskin mouth and perform circumcision again.
“Circumcision is currently the main treatment for circumcision and prepuce. This is an outpatient treatment that does not require hospitalization and can be done as you go, without affecting your studies and work.
The difference between circumcision and prepuce 1. How to determine circumcision The symptom of circumcision is that the foreskin covers the urethral opening, but can be turned up and reveal the urethral opening and the head of the penis. Pediatric circumcision should pay attention to keep the local cleanliness and hygiene, often or daily cleaning of the foreskin scale, which can prevent the occurrence of inflammation of the head of the penis.
If the head of the penis is often stimulated by inflammation, the foreskin mouth can shrink and adhere to the head of the penis to form an acquired prepuce. The circumcision generally does not require surgery, but when there is a combination of circumcision and prepuce, surgery is required.
2, how to determine the prepuce The symptom of prepuce refers to the narrow opening of the foreskin of the penis, so that the foreskin cannot be turned over to reveal the head of the penis. There are two kinds: congenital and acquired. Congenital prepuce refers to the adhesion between the foreskin and the head of the penis when the baby is born, and after a few months the adhesion is gradually absorbed and the foreskin is separated from the head of the penis.
Most boys’ foreskin and penis head separation can last until puberty, with the development and erection of the penis, the foreskin can retreat upward and flip out on its own to reveal the penis head.
3, the difference between prepuce and circumcision To determine how a child is considered circumcised or prepuce, as long as the parents flip the child’s foreskin can be turned over, can be turned over and reveal the urethral opening and penis head is prepuce, if the foreskin can not be turned over and reveal the head of the penis is prepuce.
