How to differentiate between male foreskin and phimosis

　　Many people do not have enough understanding of foreskin and phimosis, and often confuse the two. What is the difference between prepuce and phimosis, and how can we distinguish between the two?
　　
　　1. The difference between foreskin and phimosis
　　
　　1. Foreskin is too long: normal foreskin male After puberty, all or most of the glans is exposed. If the glans cannot be exposed, the foreskin still wraps all or most of the glans, but the foreskin can be turned up by hand or the glans can be exposed after erection. This is called foreskin hyperplasia.
　　
　　2. Phimosis means that the opening of the foreskin is too small, so that the foreskin cannot be turned up to reveal the head of the penis.
　　
　　Both foreskin and phimosis can cause inflammation of the male reproductive organs. Phimosis is much more harmful to the human body than excessive foreskin.
　　
　　In some cases of severe phimosis, the foreskin opening is as narrow as a pinhole, and the foreskin bulges like a ball when urinating, causing difficulty in urinating. Due to phimosis and urethral orifice stenosis, the bladder sphincter contracts during urination, and the intravesical pressure exceeds the pressure that the bladder sheath can bear before or at the same time as it overcomes urethral resistance. Urine refluxes along the ureter, and the ureter and renal pelvis expand, causing upper urinary tract bacterial infection and scar formation, leading to secondary reflux nephropathy and even renal function damage.
　　
　　2. How to distinguish between foreskin and phimosis
　　
　　When bathing, smear soap on the penis to make the inside and outside of the foreskin smooth, fix the penis left and right, push the foreskin back and turn it over with your right hand, if it can be turned up smoothly, the foreskin is too long. If it cannot be turned up and the opening of the foreskin is very small, it is phimosis. Phimosis is mostly caused by congenital factors.
　　
　　The above is the difference between foreskin and phimosis introduced to you. Male friends should go to a regular specialist in time if these two conditions occur. Hospital Get treatment.
