The young man had to amputate his little boy due to the mistake many people make

Dr. Nguyen Duy Khanh – Andrology Center, Viet Duc Hospital, said that doctors have just performed a penile amputation for a 33-year-old man.

Patient has narrow foreskin but still sex and during that time there is infection with HPV virus and long time leading to penile cancer.

In this case, the doctor must amputate the penis and remove the lymph nodes on both sides. Khanh said this is a pity for the patient because penile cancer is completely preventable.

In fact, many men have to say goodbye to their penis because of penile cancer. There are many causes of penile cancer, but the most common cause is narrowing of the foreskin.

Narrowing of the foreskin causes stagnation of urine, creating conditions for bacteria and viruses to grow, and eventually develop into cancer cells.

Foreskin stenosis is not usually a serious problem. However, if the foreskin is not removed for a long time, it will easily cause inflammation, affecting both the penis and the general health of the patient. For example, a blockage of the foreskin can impede blood flow to the tip of the penis.

Foreskin stenosis can be congenital or due to improper hygiene causing infection. Therefore, doctors advise: when bathing, parents should wash and turn the foreskin of their children. If you find it difficult to turn or the foreskin is stuck, you should see a doctor for treatment. Management of foreskin stenosis in children is usually simple.

When not cleaned properly, in the folds of the foreskin, there will be an accumulation of “residues” in the urine and mucus of the urinary tract. This is a favorable environment for bacteria to grow quickly, gradually becoming a urinary tract infection, affecting the kidneys, making it difficult to have sex later and leading to cancer of the penis.

According to statistics in Vietnam, penile cancer is quite common, there are many causes of penile cancer, most of which are due to narrowing of the foreskin. Foreskin stenosis does not directly cause cancer but does facilitate chronic inflammation of the foreskin and glans mucosa.

Inflammatory lesions lasting for many years cause mutation of mucosal cells, gradually turning into cancer.

In fact, 90% of penile cancer patients have stenosis of the foreskin, with frequent balanitis, poor living standards, and poor personal hygiene. The rest are caused by genital warts, which are caused by sexually transmitted diseases…

Among patients with penile cancer, 80% of patients have to remove the entire penis, even lymph node dissection because the patient comes to the hospital when the disease is at a late stage.

The reason for coming late is because when the penis and foreskin show signs of ulceration, the patient simply thinks it is a common venereal disease, so he subjectively does not go to the doctor early. Many patients visit dermatology for the purpose of conventional venereal treatment.

Dr. Khanh said that for people with narrow foreskin, men should pay attention:

All cases of complete foreskin stenosis require surgery to remove the foreskin. If the patient is not cut and is inflamed, the patient needs to be treated with antibiotics.

In the case of mild narrow foreskin or long foreskin, it is recommended to practice rolling, keep it clean, and can be combined with medication. Only conduct surgical treatment when the patient feels discomfort, unhygienic or painful sexual intercourse.

In adulthood, narrowing of the foreskin causes pain when the penis is erect or the penis is not erect.

Therefore, the patient should treat the foreskin stenosis before resuming sexual intercourse to avoid complications and pain during sex, especially it can make the partner more susceptible to infection. cancer more uterus.
