However, conditions such as phimosis or circumcision may lead to blockage of the urethral opening, and even affect the normal development of the penis, resulting in short penile development. As the foreskin cavity often accumulates foreskin scale, may also lead to local inflammatory infection, so that the foreskin and the head of the penis adhesion, the foreskin opening shrinkage, it is recommended to carry out excision surgery, the excessively long foreskin excision, so that the head of the penis is normally exposed, to restore the normal function.
