Male circumcision

Foreskin is a problem that many male friends will have. As long as it does not affect normal urination and sexual intercourse and pays attention to cleaning, it is not necessary to perform circumcision. Circumcision is actually for the health of the penis. Nowadays, circumcision surgery is a minimally invasive surgery and will not cause harm to the body. Just do the relevant postoperative care.

What are the benefits of circumcision for men?

1. It can avoid harm to women. As we all know, if the foreskin is too long, the secretions cannot be discharged, and the smegma in the foreskin will bring gynecological diseases to women, which seriously endangers women's health.

2. It can prevent inflammation and infection. The foreskin sebum secretes secretions every day. If the foreskin is too long, it will cover these secretions and cannot be discharged. When there is too much accumulation, it will form smegma, which is the most likely to grow bacteria, thus causing inflammation of the glans penis or infection of the urinary tract.

3. It can prevent premature ejaculation. If the foreskin is too long and is not cured by surgery, it will cause premature ejaculation, because the glans penis is wrapped in the foreskin for a long time and rarely comes into contact with external substances, so it is extremely sensitive. Once sexual intercourse occurs, the glans penis will come into contact with the female vagina, and there will be friction, which will stimulate the glans penis and cause immediate ejaculation, resulting in premature ejaculation.

4. It can enhance sexual pleasure. The foreskin of patients with excessive foreskin covers the glans penis, so they cannot enjoy pleasure during sex. Only after surgery and restoration of the normal penis can sexual pleasure be enhanced.

When is circumcision necessary?

1. If a man's foreskin completely covers the penis, it is very difficult to take out the penis for cleaning. The common reason is that there is a narrow foreskin ring, whose diameter is smaller than the glans penis, so the foreskin cannot be retracted to the position below the glans penis. If too much force is used, the foreskin ring may be stuck in the body of the penis and compress the venous blood flow, causing swelling, pain and even difficulty urinating at the front of the penis. This is called (incarcerated foreskin) and emergency surgery is required to remove the foreskin ring. It is best for adolescents with this kind of incarcerated foreskin to undergo circumcision as soon as possible.

2. If the foreskin is too long, it will also affect the sex life between the couple. Because it cannot satisfy one's own sexual desire, one should also consider circumcision. Many men's foreskin is particularly prone to dermatitis. After contacting women, the body fluids of the other party or the lubricant on the condom cause skin itching and rashes similar to allergies. In addition, some men's foreskin is dry and cracked, causing severe pain during sexual intercourse. In addition, the hygiene of the male foreskin is closely related to the health of the female genitals. Many women complain that after having sex with their partners, they have excessive secretion, urethral discomfort, and even local itching. It is likely related to the foreskin being too long and poor hygiene habits.

How to take care of yourself after circumcision surgery?

1. For patients, it is important to prevent edema. What kind of care is more important after circumcision surgery? Postoperative edema is a normal phenomenon. Experts say that it is normal for the glans penis to have mild edema within 3 to 4 days after phimosis surgery. This is a body reaction caused by anesthesia and surgery. Note that the swelling is pink at this time. Take sedatives such as diazepam 2.5 mg before going to bed to prevent penile erection, causing pain or bleeding.

2. Do not wet the dressing when the patient urinates after surgery. This is necessary to avoid infection. If it has been soaked with urine, it should be replaced as soon as possible. You can prepare 75% alcohol or 1:1000 new gentamicin cotton balls or isosmotic saline cotton balls, wipe around the urethra after urination, and keep the wound dressing clean.

3. Patients should wear looser clothes after the operation. Experts say that doctors usually place a drape on the perineum after bandaging the wound to reduce friction on the glans penis.

4. Patients also need to pay attention to a reasonable diet after the operation. Experts point out that postoperative care is very important. One month after the operation, patients can resume their sexual life. They should not eat spicy food, drink alcohol or smoke.
