Do I need surgery for a long foreskin? Do I need surgery for a long foreskin?

Phimosis is mainly caused by the local foreskin exceeding the length of the glans penis, which will accumulate smegma and bacteria. Therefore, you should pay attention to it in normal times and use some simple and effective methods to treat it. Smegma is more suitable for surgical treatment because the recovery after surgery will be more thorough. Compared with other treatment methods, surgery can solve the problem at one time, and this surgery must be done early to be more effective.

Is it necessary to have surgery for foreskin that is too long?

Although foreskin is common, many male friends still do not understand its harm. Male friends should understand the harm of foreskin. Foreskin is too long and will hinder the development of male penis, and it will also easily cause reproductive inflammation. Severe cases may even lead to penile cancer. The harm of foreskin is so great that men must have circumcision.

The dangers of excessive foreskin are:

(1) Hindering penis development and affecting the harmony of sexual life:

Phimosis will affect the growth and development of the penis. During adolescence, the glans penis is tightly covered by the foreskin and cannot receive the proper stimulation from the outside world. The development of the glans penis is greatly affected, resulting in a significantly smaller circumference of the glans penis crown after the sexual organ matures, affecting sexual pleasure. Adults may have normal sex life affected by excessive foreskin or phimosis. Especially for men with a small foreskin, the foreskin cannot be turned up and is tightly stuck in the coronal groove, forming an incarcerated foreskin, which is not very painful. In severe cases, the glans penis will become edematous due to poor blood flow, and even glans penis necrosis may occur.

(2) Inflammation of the penis:

There are abundant sebaceous glands in the foreskin, which can secrete a large amount of sebum. When the foreskin is too long or the foreskin is too long, the secretions of the sebaceous glands in the foreskin cannot be discharged, and the sebum and the sediment in the urine are combined into the cheese-like and smelly "smegma". Smegma is suitable for bacterial growth, so it can cause inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin. The bacteria can also cause urinary tract infection through the urethra. Inflammation occurring at the urethral opening can cause the urethral opening to narrow after healing, resulting in difficulty in urination.

(3) Damage to kidney function:

Penis inflammation can cause stenosis of the urethra or anterior urethra, resulting in urination difficulties. Long-term urination difficulties will damage kidney function.

(4) Risk of cancer:

Phimosis and foreskin may induce penile cancer. Modern scientific research shows that smegma is a carcinogen. According to surveys, 85%-95% of penile cancer patients have phimosis or foreskin. Phimosis and foreskin are not only harmful to one's own health, but also bring smegma into the vagina when having sex with his wife, irritating the uterus and inducing cervical cancer.

Clinical experts say that men with phimosis and prepuce that is too long should go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible, such as circumcision. Do not apply medicine randomly, and do not trust any "folk remedies". Go to the hospital and ask the doctor to treat it in time.

In short, the sooner the foreskin is operated on, the better, and it is best to undergo surgery in adolescence. Men who want to undergo circumcision surgery should choose a regular specialist hospital to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment and strive for early recovery.
