Phimosis refers to the condition where the foreskin opening is too small to be retracted to expose the glans penis, which may lead to asthenozoospermia. The mild epithelial adhesion between the inner foreskin and the surface of the glans penis is absorbed, the foreskin retracts, and the glans penis is exposed. If the adhesion is not absorbed, it will form congenital phimosis. Acquired phimosis mostly occurs secondary to inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin.
Must phimosis be treated surgically? Perhaps we should consider the potential harms caused by phimosis.
The hazards of prepuce and phimosis vary at different ages, and over time, four main hazards generally appear successively.
1: Hindering penile development
During puberty, since the glans penis is tightly wrapped by the foreskin, it does not receive the necessary external stimulation, which greatly restricts the development of the glans penis, leading to a significantly smaller circumference of the corona of the glans penis after sexual organ development matures, affecting sexual pleasure.
2: Causing penile inflammation
An excessively long foreskin can enclose smegma, bacteria, and residual urine, forming chronic irritation. Over time, this can cause inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin.
3: Damaging kidney function
If the penis becomes inflamed due to an overly long foreskin, it may cause urethral meatus or anterior urethra stricture, resulting in difficulty urinating. Over the long term, kidney function may also be damaged.
4: Leading to premature ejaculation
An excessively long foreskin covering the glans penis prevents it from having good contact with the outside world, making the local nerve sensitivity extremely high. Once engaging in sexual activity, it may only take a few moments of friction before ejaculation occurs. Over time, this can lead to habitual premature ejaculation.
In addition to the above four hazards, the bacteria hidden in the foreskin can be brought into the female reproductive organ during sexual intercourse, stimulating the cervix and causing inflammation, which is also one of the main reasons for cervical cancer.

Warm reminder: Due to the various harms caused by phimosis, if surgery is not performed in a timely manner, more serious consequences may occur. The hospital has specially set up a free online expert consultation service to help patients and those in need better understand their conditions. Authoritative experts will answer questions related to diseases based on individual conditions and provide the most professional treatment plan. You can also call the consultation hotline, and the hospital's experts will do their best to assist you.
