What are the benefits of male circumcision?

The foreskin is the skin on the male penis that protects the glans. However, if the foreskin is too long, it still needs to be removed, because it will affect the male's sexual function, increase the probability of male infection with various reproductive system diseases, and even affect the male's fertility. Below, I will introduce the benefits of circumcision for men in detail.

If the foreskin is pulled back from the urethral opening or the glans penis can extend out of the foreskin opening when the penis is erect, it should not be considered as prepuce being too long. The key difference between long prepuce and prepuce being too long is the word "too long". Long prepuce does not necessarily require surgery, but prepuce being too long does require surgical removal.

For infants or children with excessive foreskin, as long as it does not affect urination, there is no need to remove the foreskin too early. Because the penis of children still has a development process, most children have more outdoor activities during childhood, and the penis is more likely to be injured. Excision of the foreskin too early will lose its function of protecting the glans penis. Generally speaking, the foreskin will not affect the development of the penis. It is most appropriate to remove the excessive foreskin when the male sexual development is mature. Therefore, even if the foreskin is too long, it is ideal to remove it after puberty or before marriage.

1. Prolong the duration of sexual life: prevent premature ejaculation. The exposed glans penis and genitals have reduced sensitivity due to long-term friction, thus prolonging the duration and playing a certain role in preventing premature ejaculation. This benefit will be achieved after circumcision surgery.

2. Reduce the risk factors of infertility. Therefore, it is very important for male friends to undergo circumcision surgery.

3. Prevent gynecological inflammation caused by foreskin and phimosis.

4. Promote the growth and development of male genitals: After circumcision surgery, the glans penis is exposed and often rubs against the underwear, which unconsciously promotes the growth of the penis. Therefore, after the symptoms appear, circumcision surgery must be performed in time.

5. Circumcision surgery can prevent infection.

6. Male friends can also reduce the incidence of male phimosis by undergoing circumcision surgery.

1. Patients should reduce their activities after surgery to reduce local edema and facilitate wound healing;

2. To prevent penile erection, especially at night, you can wear loose and bulky underwear, cover yourself with a soft blanket, and take drugs such as diethylstilbestrol and sulazepam orally. Generally, the drugs have little effect, and the patient will become flaccid on his own after waking up from the painful erection. Just be careful to avoid strong sexual stimulation;

3. Take antibiotics orally or intravenously to prevent infection;

4. Follow the doctor's advice and go to the hospital to change the gauze every 3-5 days;

5. If the wound is contaminated within two weeks after surgery, pay attention to the disinfection of the wound surface;

6. Sexual life can be resumed three or four weeks after surgery;

7. If bleeding occurs, return to the hospital as soon as possible for timely treatment.
