What happens if you don't circumcise?

Many male friends will encounter the problem of foreskin being too long. Many people are ashamed to face it and do not want to receive treatment. Foreskin being too long is a very normal physiological phenomenon. Don’t have negative emotions. Some male friends will consider the risk and whether it will affect fertility. In fact, there are still many dangers for men not to be circumcised, such as causing balanitis or some complications, and secondly, it will also lead to sexual function problems.

The foreskin covers the urethra but can be turned up to expose the urethra and glans penis.

After the age of 15, the mild adhesion between the glans penis and the foreskin disappears on its own, and the penis can be turned up. However, the turned-up foreskin in childhood often covers the urethral opening, and the glans penis gradually becomes exposed during puberty. When the penis of an adult is soft, the foreskin does not cover the urethral opening, and the foreskin can be turned up to expose the coronal sulcus, which is the foreskin of normal length. Excessive foreskin can cause smegma to accumulate in the foreskin, causing balanitis. Repeated inflammation can shrink the foreskin opening and adhere to the glans penis to form a phimosis. Penile cancer may be related to long-term stimulation by smegma.

It is worth mentioning that although prepuce that is too long has little impact on health, it may sometimes form an incarcerated foreskin due to the narrow foreskin opening, that is, the foreskin is tightly tied to the coronal sulcus of the penis and cannot be pushed down. At this time, it should be manually restored as soon as possible. If manual restoration is not possible, the doctor should be asked to cut the tight foreskin opening and then perform circumcision.
