What to do if the genital foreskin is too long

Genital foreskin is a common symptom in men. If you have genital foreskin that is too long, you must pay attention to related care and hygiene to avoid infection and other symptoms. If necessary, you can take surgical measures to remove the foreskin. So what should you do if your genital foreskin is too long? Let’s take a closer look.

Phimosis can be divided into true phimosis and false phimosis. True phimosis means that the glans cannot be fully exposed even after the penis is erect; false phimosis means that the glans cannot be fully exposed at normal times, but can be fully exposed after the penis is erect. True phimosis can cause premature ejaculation, impotence, sexual dysfunction, urinary and reproductive system infections, secondary infertility, etc., and should be treated surgically; for false phimosis, pay attention to maintaining good local hygiene, wash frequently, and thoroughly remove the smegma to prevent repeated infections, and surgical treatment is not necessary.

If you have a long foreskin, you don't necessarily need surgery. The key is that if the foreskin cannot be turned up, it will affect the blood return, so surgery is necessary. If you don't have surgery, it will affect the blood return after erection, which will affect his erection, forming a ring that is stuck and affecting the venous blood return, which is prone to some problems with the penis. Therefore, surgery is needed for these.

Under what circumstances should surgery be performed if the foreskin is long? The first is that phimosis is formed if the foreskin cannot be turned up. The second is that balanitis often occurs repeatedly. Even if the foreskin can be turned up, the foreskin opening is too tight, which may affect the future erection and venous return. These all require surgical treatment. However, if the foreskin can be turned up and stay there, and is not easy to come down repeatedly, and balanitis is not likely to occur, then circumcision surgery should generally be performed with caution.

For cases where the foreskin is too long, it is important to note that it does not necessarily require surgery. If it does not affect sexual life, surgery is not necessary. However, if the foreskin is too long and affects erection, surgery should be performed as soon as possible to remove the excess foreskin.
