    The harm of foreskin growth may lead to repeated attacks of balanitis and may also affect the growth of the penis.

    Long foreskin is usually caused by congenital dysplasia. An excessively long foreskin will completely cover the penis and glans, and a lot of smegma will be produced in it, which can easily lead to bacterial growth, resulting in balanitis and causing obvious local swelling and pain. When the foreskin grows during the growth and development period of the penis, it may also affect the normal growth and development of the penis.

    Foreskin growth can be treated through circumcision surgery. Most people can achieve complete cure after surgery.
