Male phimosis surgery

The best time to choose male foreskin surgery is during adolescence, which is conducive to the recovery of the wound and will not affect the development of the penis. Male foreskin surgery is a minor operation, which usually takes about half an hour, but men should pay attention to the precautions after the operation to avoid infection of the penis, and they cannot have sex within one month after the operation.

How to tell if the foreskin is too long

Many young men do not know whether they have foreskin problems, do not know what foreskin is, and do not know what effects it will bring, thus missing the best time for surgery.

In men with normal reproductive organs, the glans penis is fully or mostly exposed. However, excessive foreskin can be judged based on the following two situations.

1. The foreskin covers the entire glans of the penis, and the glans cannot be exposed naturally. However, the foreskin can be turned over to expose the glans during washing, masturbation, and sexual intercourse.

2. The excess skin covering the glans is too long.

Among them, the foreskin is also divided into true foreskin and false foreskin. True foreskin is that the glans cannot be fully exposed after the penis is erected; false foreskin is that the glans cannot be fully exposed at ordinary times, but it can be fully exposed after the penis is erected.

At what age can I have a circumcision?

There is an optimal time to have a circumcision. Patients should understand clearly whether they have foreskin that is too long, so as not to miss the optimal time for surgery. The following will explain to you at what age you can have a circumcision.

Experts say that it is best to have a circumcision between the ages of 9 and 13. Generally, for boys under the age of seven, the foreskin is relatively long and can completely cover the glans penis and the external opening of the urethra. But with the development of puberty, the penis continues to lengthen and increase in size, and the foreskin will retract. After the age of 18, the glans penis will be exposed. However, about one-third of adults still have the foreskin covering the glans penis. The glans penis can only be exposed when the foreskin is turned up by hand or the penis is erect. This condition is called prepuce. Some patients not only have a long foreskin, but also a small and tight foreskin opening. No matter whether the foreskin is turned up or the penis is erect, the glans penis cannot be exposed. This condition is called phimosis.

Experts recommend that surgery be performed between the ages of 9 and 13 to help the development of the penis and avoid infection and inflammation.
