What are the benefits of circumcision?

Circumcision is a surgery that many men choose. This is mainly because if the foreskin is too long, it will have a certain impact on the male reproductive system health and normal sexual life. If the foreskin is cut off, it can prevent glans inflammation, premature ejaculation, and pyelitis. It can also guarantee the health of women to a large extent and prevent women from having gynecological diseases such as cervicitis.

1. Prevent balanitis

After circumcision, the reproductive organs are easier to keep clean, reducing the chance of inflammation of the foreskin and glans penis. It also reduces the risk of penile cancer, as penile cancer is related to inflammation of the foreskin caused by repeated stimulation of bacteria.

2. Avoid premature ejaculation

Circumcision can improve sexual function because the chance of direct friction between the glans penis and underwear increases, reducing the sensitivity of the glans penis. It can delay ejaculation during sexual intercourse and improve premature ejaculation, which is the biggest benefit of male circumcision.

During the follow-up visit within 3 months after circumcision, it was found that the glans penis that was just exposed after the operation was particularly sensitive. During normal activities, the friction of clothes and pants caused the penis to become erect. The erection would gradually subside after the activities had to be stopped. This phenomenon was most obvious after the operation and gradually decreased as time went by. This is because the long foreskin covered the glans penis and the coronal margin for a long time, which resulted in less stimulation, a particularly high sensitivity, and a particularly low stimulation threshold, which easily led to premature ejaculation. After circumcision, the glans penis and coronal margin are exposed for a long time, and are stimulated by the friction of clothes for a long time, resulting in repeated erection, regression, and erection, and this stimulation is always below the threshold, thereby reducing its sensitivity, breaking the original conditioned reflex, gradually raising the central threshold for triggering ejaculation, delaying the occurrence of ejaculation, and prolonging the duration of sexual intercourse, thus achieving the effect of treating premature ejaculation.

3. Pelonephritis

The foreskin may block urination due to its narrow opening, causing inflammation of the urethra, bladder and even kidneys. If the foreskin is removed, this threat will naturally disappear.

4. Prevent female cervicitis (cancer)

Most cervical cancers are caused by sexual contact with human papillomavirus (HPV). Patients with long foreskin are more likely to be infected with this virus. After circumcision, the probability of infection will be greatly reduced.
