Circumcision or not?

Phimosis is a very common phenomenon in life. Many men usually have the phenomenon of prepuce, but most men are troubled by the question of whether to have a circumcision. Some men think that it is okay to have a circumcision or not, and that a long foreskin will not affect the health of the body. In fact, this is wrong. There are many dangers of a long foreskin for men. If it is not circumcised, it is easy to cause balanitis.

Phimosis: Phimosis can be divided into true phimosis and false phimosis. True phimosis means that the foreskin cannot automatically retract to above the coronal sulcus after the penis is erect, and the glans cannot be fully exposed, and the foreskin needs to be turned up with the help of hands; false phimosis means that the glans cannot be fully exposed at ordinary times, but after the penis is erect, the foreskin can automatically retract to above the coronal sulcus and can be fully exposed.

Phimosis: After the penis is erect, the foreskin cannot automatically retract above the coronal sulcus, the glans cannot be completely exposed, and it cannot be turned up even with manual assistance.

Prepuce and phimosis are very common in the general population, especially prepuce, which has an incidence rate of over 50% in the Chinese population. Most people have symptoms that cannot be considered a pathological condition.

Viewpoint: Circumcision should be avoided if possible!

reason:

1. The foreskin has its own functions.

2. Circumcision is an invasive surgery with certain risks and complications.

3. There is no clear evidence that circumcision can prolong the duration of sexual intercourse, so circumcision for the purpose of prolonging the duration of sexual intercourse or treating premature ejaculation is not recommended; many people who have undergone circumcision have not been able to obtain satisfactory results, and may even have had the opposite effect.

What should you do?

1. Phimosis: The foreskin opening is narrow, and the foreskin and glans are adhered, which cannot be solved by non-surgical methods.

2. Foreskin is too long: recurrent attacks of phimosis.

Non-surgical treatments for phimosis: Many people think that the only way to treat phimosis is surgery. In fact, phimosis can be treated through non-surgical methods such as topical application of glucocorticoid ointment, dilation of the foreskin, and manual rotation.

People with prepuce that is too long need to pay attention to personal hygiene. It is best to open and clean the foreskin every day to prevent the accumulation of secretions and the formation of smegma.
