Circumcision refers to the narrow opening of the foreskin and the adhesion of the foreskin to the glans, so that the foreskin covering the penis cannot be turned up to reveal the glans. The foreskin is long, covering the glans or urethral opening, but can be turned up to reveal the glans.

The following hazards are associated with long foreskin and circumcision: 1. White object, often mistaken for tumor by family members), leading to bacterial sins, manifesting as redness and swelling of penile foreskin, and in serious cases, pus, which can lead to serious complications such as urethral stenosis, pyelonephritis, iron glans, etc.; 4.
