Why do men get circumcised?

After a boy reaches puberty, his genitals grow and develop rapidly, and the volume expands. If the foreskin is too long, it will be accompanied by the penis glans being exposed. Some people cannot turn up the penis glans to expose the penis because the foreskin is too long and the external opening is very small. This is called "foreskin is too long". Some people can turn up the penis glans to expose the penis even though the foreskin is too long and the external opening is not large. However, the foreskin is too long and covers the entire penis glans and the external opening of the urethra. This condition is called "foreskin is too long". Both of these conditions are common congenital malformations of male genitals. So why do boys need circumcision surgery?

The harm of long foreskin in boys

1. Hindering the development of boys: During puberty, because the glans penis is tightly wrapped by the foreskin, it cannot get the necessary external stimulation, and the growth and development of the glans penis is greatly restricted, resulting in the glans penis crown circumference being significantly smaller after the reproductive organ has fully grown and developed, which will significantly affect the pleasure of sexual life.

2. Causes penis inflammation: The foreskin is too long and contains a lot of sebaceous glands, which can metabolize a lot of sebaceous glands. Too long foreskin will prevent these sebaceous glands from excreting, and will form cheese-like and smelly "urine scale" with the sediment in the urine. Urine scale is suitable for the growth of bacteria, which is the root cause of infection of the glans penis and foreskin. Moreover, this kind of bacteria will be transmitted to the immediate family members through sexual intercourse, causing the occurrence of gynecological inflammation.

3. Harm to kidney function: Penis inflammation can cause stenosis of the urethra or anterior urethra, leading to urinary incontinence. Long-term urinary incontinence will affect kidney function.

4. Causes of premature ejaculation: Due to the long foreskin, the glans penis cannot be in good contact with the outside world, resulting in high sensitivity of local nerves. Once intercourse begins, men will ejaculate after just a few frictions. If this continues for a long time, habitual premature ejaculation will occur.

5. Cause pathology: Urine scale is also one of the key causes of penile cancer in men and cervical cancer in women.
