Does the phimosis have to be cut off?

Many men have some difficulties, such as being troubled by male genital problems. Phimosis is a problem that many men have. So, is circumcision necessary? Many people ask this question. For those with severe phimosis, it is possible to choose to have it removed. How should it be done? What aspects should be paid attention to?

Phimosis is when the foreskin is too long and the opening is very narrow, making it difficult to turn up. The foreskin is too long and completely covers the glans penis, and the glans penis cannot be exposed at any time. Men can check it personally, apply soap on the glans penis, and then moisten the foreskin inside and outside. Hold the penis still with the right hand, and pull the foreskin back and rotate it with the left hand. If it can be done smoothly, it is what is commonly called long foreskin. How to deal with long foreskin? It depends on the actual length. For the longer one, it will affect your daily life and health in the future, and it should be removed as soon as possible. If the opening of the foreskin is too long and it cannot be turned up at all, this is the foreskin that is too long.

Some phimosis is congenital, and some is caused by long foreskin, frequent infection or adhesion. This kind of situation is very harmful to men, so a professional doctor should be asked to evaluate whether it should be removed.

In cases caused by physiological foreskin hyperplasia or adhesion, long-term conservative treatment is not recommended. Instead, surgical treatment such as circumcision should be used, which is a very complete method at this stage. However, it should be noted that the vulva should be cleaned with warm water or 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution three days before the surgical treatment. Anesthesia is then required and the operation is carried out under the actual operation of a specialist.

After the incision, you need to apply certain medicines to reduce genital bleeding and inflammation. Also, pay attention to the dryness of the gauze auxiliary material. If it is wet with urine, it needs to be replaced in time. Generally, the stitches can be removed 5 to 7 days after the operation.

The detailed situation of foreskin and foreskin is different for each person. If it is simply foreskin that is too long, effective methods can be taken to treat it according to the actual situation. However, if it is foreskin that is too long, circumcision should be performed as soon as possible under normal circumstances. It is usually not performed until the child is seven or eight years old. In practice, the specific guidance and allocation of the specialist should be followed.
