Dr. Thinh explained, this is the case of the patient self -fluttering when the penis is soft to reveal the foreskin.However, after finishing, it is not possible to pull back the skin that caused a congestion.Because the student was ashamed and did not go to the examination early, leading to dangerous complications.

The cause of the foreskin is narrowed
Dr. Thinh said that the foreskin narrow is a situation where the foreskin cannot pull down from the penis glans, hindering hygiene and can cause men's health problems.
The cause of foreskin stenosis may be physiological.Typically, the foreskin will turn down when children grow up.But in some children, this condition does not improve on its own, occurs infection and leads to foreskin stenosis.
In adults, foreskin stenosis is often caused by infections repeatedly in the foreskin, leading to sclerosis, narrowing and unable to turn out.In addition, lesions or scars after injury or surgery can also cause foreskin narrowing.
Complications of foreskin stenosis
Foreskin stenosis can lead to a number of serious complications such as:
- Inflammation of the foreskin area: When the foreskin does not turn down, it will make it difficult to clean, stagnate secretion and urine, creating favorable conditions for bacteria to grow, causing inflammation, burning painand red.
- Skin necrosis: When the foreskin is flipped but cannot be pulled back, it will cause congestion, obstructing blood circulation to the foreskin.If not treated quickly, it will lead to foreskin necrosis.
- Urinary tract infections: due to bacteria from the infection area spread to the urinary tract.
- Increased risk of penile cancer.
- Affect the life of the blanket in the future.
The case is a reminder for parents and men in puberty about the importance of raising awareness about gender.
For young children, the daily hygiene of foreskin is very important.If the foreskin is narrow, pay attention to gently clean and avoid damage.In particular, do not try to make the foreskin itself if it feels difficult or painful, because this can lead to tightness, causing serious complications.Ideally, go to reputable medical facilities for advice and proper intervention.
