This is a type of phimosis where the foreskin is long and always covers the glans, but unlike true phimosis, the foreskin opening is not narrow and can be turned back, also known as pseudo-phimosis. Most children are in this state, but this is because the foreskin and glans are physiologically adhered together, and as the child grows, the foreskin will normally be naturally turned back. There is no problem if you leave phimosis untreated. However, the glans is prone to becoming dirty, and repeated blancoposthitis can lead to adhesions and true phimosis. Therefore, it is important to occasionally retract the foreskin to keep the area clean and prevent the accumulation of smegma.

陰茎の包皮が長いためにいつも亀頭が覆われている包茎のうち、真性包茎と違って包皮口が狭くないので反転できるものをいい、偽(ぎ)包茎ともよばれる。ほとんどの小児はこの状態であるが、これは包皮と亀頭が生理的に癒着しているためで、成長とともにこの癒着がとれてくれば、包皮は自然に反転されるのが普通である。 仮性包茎は放置しておいても支障はない。しかし、亀頭部が不潔になりやすく、亀頭包皮炎を繰り返しているうちに癒着がおこって真性包茎になってしまうこともある。したがって、ときどき包皮を反転して恥垢(ちこう)がたまらないように局所の清潔を保つことがたいせつである。 [松下一男] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
