Circumcision refers to the narrow opening of the foreskin, which cannot be turned up to expose the head of the penis. When the mild epithelial adhesions between the inner plate of the foreskin and the surface of the penis head are absorbed, the foreskin retracts and the penis head is exposed. If the adhesions are not absorbed, congenital prepuce is formed. Acquired prepuce is mostly secondary to inflammation of the foreskin of the head of the penis, which causes scar contracture of the foreskin opening. If the prepuce is serious, it can cause difficulty in urination or even urinary retention. When the foreskin scale accumulates, there can be itching sensation on the head of the penis. Long-term chronic stimulation can induce infection and cancer, leukoplakia and stones.
Congenital prepuce The prepuce is divided into congenital prepuce and acquired prepuce, and the classification of congenital prepuce may not be well understood by many male friends, experts say that the treatment of different prepuce is not the same and congenital prepuce should not be treated blindly.
Congenital prepuce refers to the adhesion between the foreskin and the head of the penis at birth, and after a few months the adhesion is gradually absorbed and the foreskin is separated from the head of the penis. Most boys have a separation between the foreskin and the head of the penis that lasts until puberty. With the development and erection of the penis, the foreskin can recede and flip out on its own to reveal the head. Children with prepuce, due to the secretions accumulated under the foreskin, often stimulate the mucous membrane will cause the head of the penis foreskin inflammation.
Atrophic prepuce: the foreskin is short and thin, tightly wrapped around the head of the penis, the two are stuck together, so that penis development is limited, so the penis is short, the head of the penis is deformed, and even a contracted hard structure. When erect, you feel discomfort or pain, which affects sexual function. If the foreskin mouth and the urethral orifice are exactly in the same position, the narrowing of the foreskin mouth does not affect urination, otherwise there is poor urination or difficulty in urination.
Second, the fat large prepuce: foreskin fat too long, causing urination effort, urine line thinning and bifurcation. In case of heavy circumcision, when urinating, the foreskin capsule is first filled with urine and becomes ball-shaped, and then urine is discharged. Complications of prepuce include lower urinary tract obstruction, upper urinary tract fluid, kidney function damage, inguinal hernia, prolapse, penile prepuce head infection, prepuce stone, frequent stimulation of local inflammation can cause increased nocturia, penile head and prepuce leukoplakia, papilloma, acromegaly, etc. According to relevant data, 90% of penile cancer patients are related to prepuce and prepuce.
