    What are the dangers of excessive phimosis?

    1. Cause balanitis

    Male phimosis makes it difficult for the male foreskin secretions to be discharged, thus forming smegma. Smegma is a warm bed for bacteria to breed and multiply, which can induce balanitis in men.

    2. Cause anejaculation

    Doctors point out that if a man suffers from phimosis, the male glans cannot be fully stimulated, so the sensitivity is low and it is difficult to reach the ejaculation threshold during sex, leading to anejaculation.

    3. Causes loss of sexual desire

    Many times, if a man suffers from phimosis, because the foreskin is not easy to move, he will easily experience pain or difficulty in sexual life, which will lead to a loss of sexual desire in men. In severe cases, it may also induce male impotence.

    4. Affect male fertility function

    When men suffer from phimosis, it will also bring more adverse effects to male patients. Phimosis can easily lead to the growth of bacteria, which may pass through the urethra and into the male reproductive system, inducing prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis and other diseases, affecting male fertility.
