    Excessive foreskin may cause balanitis, bacterial infection, premature ejaculation and other hazards. The hazards are mainly related to the severity of the condition and your physical fitness.

    1. Balanitis

    In daily life, the foreskin of the penis is too long. If you don't pay attention to the hygiene of the private parts, it may cause a large number of bacteria to breed locally, which is prone to balanitis. You can apply mupirocin ointment, erythromycin ointment, miconazole ointment and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor for treatment.

    2. Bacterial infection

    Excessive foreskin can easily lead to local bacterial infection, so you need to wash your private parts with warm water frequently in daily life to avoid a large amount of dirt inside the foreskin.

    3. Premature ejaculation

    When the foreskin is too long, it may cover the entire glans. It may not fully expose the glans after the penis is erect, which may cause premature ejaculation during sexual intercourse.

    In addition to the above-mentioned hazards, there may also be hazards such as penis sensitivity and glans rash. Therefore, you should pay attention to the local area in daily life and go to a regular medical institution for circumcision in time.
