One reason for circumcision is to keep clean. There are many oil glands on the foreskin and glans, which secrete the so-called foreskin scale and produce a special taste. If the foreskin is too long, combined with sweat and dirt, it will cause erythema and itching on the skin. We call it "foreskin balanitis".
So the most important thing to pay attention to the foreskin hygiene is to know how to clean the foreskin on the glans and keep it dry. If the cleaning work is done well, no matter how long the foreskin is, there is no need to have surgery to remove it.
Under what circumstances do you want to circumcise?
1. The foreskin is too long, that is, the foreskin is covered on the glans, which is not easy to turn over and clean. The common reason is that the foreskin ring, whose diameter is smaller than the glans, cannot be pulled down to the part below the glans. If the force is too strong, the foreskin ring may be stuck in the penis body and compress the venous blood flow, causing swelling and pain at the front of the penis, which is called "incarcerated foreskin".
The foreskin ring must be surgically cut. Teenagers with this kind of embedded foreskin had better undergo foreskin surgery. Since it is difficult to clean, the accumulated foreskin scale and various viruses will cause symptoms and damage to local organs. Long pain is not as good as short pain. Simple foreskin surgery will make a man's penis dry and healthy. Why not!
2. For sexually transmitted diseases that recur locally on the foreskin, because of the dead angle buried in the foreskin, prepuce surgery is helpful for thorough treatment and permanent prevention.
3. Too long foreskin will affect the sexual life of both sexes. Many men's foreskin is prone to dermatitis, causing skin itching and rash similar to allergy. In addition, the health of male foreskin is closely related to women's health. Many women cause urethral discomfort and even local itching after sexual life, which may be related to the long foreskin and poor health habits of men.
Women's cervical erosion and cervical cancer have recently proved to be closely related to the health of male prepuce, so men should not only consider their own comfort but also the health care needs of their sexual partners, and circumcision is a once and for all operation.
4. The appearance of male penis is often changed after prepuce operation. Don't believe some exaggerated false advertisements that circumcision can enhance sexual function, which has no medical basis. After prepuce operation, the sensitivity of glans may have premature ejaculation in the short term, and it will return to normal in the long run.
Prepuce cutting is a simple operation. The redundant prepuce is cut off and then sutured with meat suture. Only local anesthesia is required, without hospitalization. After the operation, you should take anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs for about three days. You can take a shower within a week, but you should not take a bath. Or quantity. Therefore, when dealing with patients with oligospermia or other male infertility, the changes in local endocrine of testis cannot be ignored.
