About 1/20 men suffer from phimosis, in which case we suggest cutting it off. Because the glans of phimosis patients is bound by foreskin, it is difficult to get external stimulation, the development of glans may be limited to some extent, and the sexual life of adults will also be affected.
Experts believe that for men with long foreskin, it is best to cut after puberty; Patients with phimosis should see whether the foreskin affects their development and various functions. If so, they should receive treatment as soon as possible.
No matter which city you are in, you can always see some small advertisements posted on overpasses and telephone poles, which read the words "treating redundant prepuce", as if it were a very serious disease. So, what is a long foreskin? According to experts, the so-called foreskin is too long, which means that the glans penis is completely wrapped by foreskin when the penis is weak, but when it is completely erect, the glans penis still cannot be completely exposed. If the foreskin is too long, it is easy to accumulate scale in the foreskin. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it will stimulate the foreskin and glans, cause balanitis, foreskin stones and other diseases, and even induce penile cancer.
Before the child is seven or eight years old, the foreskin is relatively long, often covering the glans penis and the external orifice of urethra; After puberty, the penis grows rapidly, and the foreskin contracts automatically, exposing the glans penis and urethral orifice.
According to statistics, 1 foreskin in every 5 men is slightly longer. But this does not mean that all people with too long foreskin should be circumcised. After incision, the delicate glans penis is easy to be exposed, and it hurts when touched, which may take a long time to adapt to the external environment; Some foreskin circumcision is not ideal, which causes the foreskin to be pulled when the penis is erect, causing pain. In fact, as long as you wash more, you can avoid diseases caused by long foreskin and uncircumcision.
As for whether the foreskin is too long will affect sexual life, experts believe that it cannot be generalized. "Some people with too long foreskin, glans penis may be more sensitive than normal people, and the pleasure in sexual life will be stronger. The complete exposure of the glans after circumcision will reduce its sensitivity and cause premature ejaculation. "
