    Long foreskin means that the opening of the foreskin is long and narrow and cannot be turned up to expose the glans penis. The slight adhesion of squamous epithelial cells on the inner plate of the foreskin and the surface of the glans penis is digested, the foreskin is long and timid, and the glans penis is exposed. If the adhesion is not digested, it will cause congenital foreskin elongation. Acquired foreskin elongation is secondary to inflammation of the foreskin of the glans penis, causing scarred muscle atrophy. If the condition of foreskin is severe, it may cause difficulty in urination and even urinary retention. When urine dirt accumulates, the male genital glans may feel itchy. Long-term chronic irritation can cause infection and disease, vitiligo and stones. The clinical symptoms of foreskin are reflected in the following aspects:

    1. The foreskin has a long and narrow opening, which looks like a pinprick, which can cause varying degrees of difficulty in urinating, slow and weak urine flow, and the foreskin bulges during urination.

    2. The symptoms of phimosis in boys are very harmful and can cause male genital balanoposthitis. During inflammation, the long mouth of the foreskin swells and there is purulent secretion.

    3. The symptoms of phimosis in boys should be distinguished from those of excessive foreskin. Long foreskin can cause urine stains, which appear as milky white small hard lumps.

    4. Patients with long foreskin may cause incarcerated phimosis, obvious pain, penile edema, difficulty in urinating, and symptoms of necrosis of the incarcerated foreskin for too long.
