Circumcision surgery shortened the penis by 2 cm

Circumcision is to remove the excessive foreskin, that is, to make a straight cut on the back of the male genitals, and then cut a circle of unnecessary foreskin horizontally. Long foreskin can cause premature ejaculation. If the foreskin is not treated in time, it will often affect the happiness of the couple's sexual life, because the excessive foreskin will encapsulate the male glans. So, what happened to the 2 cm shorter circumcision?

Why is my penis 2cm shorter after circumcision surgery?

Circumcision is a surgical treatment for circumcision. It simply removes the unnecessary foreskin covering part of the glans penis, thereby exposing the glans penis more strongly. The length of the penis depends on the length of the hanging part of the corpus cavernosum exposed. Circumcision is not likely to involve the corpus cavernosum. The reasons why patients feel that the length of the male penis is shortened after circumcision are: First, because of the pressure bandage after male genital surgery and the pain of some wounds, it will temporarily affect the erection, and the regular hematoma of the male genitals will be reduced. Second, because the foreskin is too long, it will be stretched for a short time, which will make it seem that the penis erection is not sufficient. The above reasons will make the male genitals look "shortened". However, it is temporary and will improve with the complete repair of the surgical treatment, the disappearance of pain, and the healing of the wound.

Long foreskin refers to the situation that when the male genitals are relaxed, the foreskin is too long to cover the entire glans penis. If the foreskin is not only too long to cover the entire glans penis, but also the foreskin opening is too narrow and cannot be extended externally, this situation is medically called foreskin too long.

The foreskin is too long and covers the urethral opening, but it can be turned up to expose the urethral opening and the glans penis. Generally, after the age of 3, the slight adhesion between the glans penis and the foreskin of boys disappears on its own, and the foreskin can be turned up. However, the foreskin that is turned up in childhood often covers the urethral opening, and the glans penis is slowly exposed during puberty. When the male genitals of adults are soft, the foreskin is too long and does not cover the urethral opening. The foreskin can be turned up to expose the coronal sulcus, which is the normal length of foreskin. Long foreskin can cause urine scale to accumulate in the foreskin, causing balanitis. Recurrent inflammation can reduce the size of the foreskin opening and adhere to the glans penis, resulting in foreskin. Penile cancer may be related to the long-term irritation of urine scale.

The foreskin opening is narrow or the foreskin is too long and adheres to the glans penis, so that the foreskin covering the male genitals is too long to be turned out to expose the urethral opening and glans penis. When the foreskin is too long, the foreskin opening may be very narrow, and sometimes it is accompanied by a narrow urethral opening, affecting urination.

Therefore, for those with prepuce that is too long or too thin, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. It is worth mentioning that although prepuce that is too long does not have a big impact on health, sometimes it may cause foreskin incarceration due to the narrow opening of the prepuce, that is, the foreskin is tightly tied outside the coronal sulcus of the penis and cannot be pushed down. At this time, it should be technically restored as soon as possible. If the technical restoration is not possible, the doctor should be asked to cut open the tight foreskin opening and continue the circumcision.
