What happins if you dont have foreskin rolled back?

Smegma accumulation

Smegma is a thick, white substance made up of dead skin cells, oil, and sweat. It can accumulate under the foreskin if it is not rolled back regularly. This can cause irritation, inflammation, and infection.

Phimosis

Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin is too tight to be rolled back. This can make it difficult to clean the area under the foreskin, which can lead to smegma accumulation and infection. Phimosis can also cause pain during erections and intercourse.

Paraphimosis

Paraphimosis is a condition in which the foreskin is rolled back but cannot be pulled forward again. This can cause the foreskin to become trapped and swollen, which can be very painful. Paraphimosis is a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment.

Balanitis

Balanitis is an inflammation of the glans penis. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including smegma accumulation, infection, and trauma. Balanitis can cause pain, itching, redness, and swelling.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

UTIs are more common in men who do not roll back their foreskin regularly. This is because bacteria can more easily enter the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the penis) if the foreskin is not rolled back.

Penile cancer

Some studies have shown that men who do not roll back their foreskin regularly may be at an increased risk of penile cancer. However, more research is needed to confirm this link.

If you are not able to roll back your foreskin, or if you are concerned about any changes to the appearance of your penis, it is important to see a doctor.
