Mr. Gu (husband): After I got married, my wife said my foreskin was a little long. In fact, I don’t think it’s long myself, just that half of the glans is covered when the penis is weak, but not when the penis is erect. Is this also considered circumcision? For this reason, my wife and I are still arguing. I also pay close attention to personal hygiene and wash my foreskin and glans every day in the shower, and I have never had any inflammation. I now feel that my glans is more sensitive and I have more pleasure during sex. I read on the Internet that the foreskin does not cover the glans, which makes it less sensitive and affects the pleasure instead. May I ask the doctor: do I have a point? Miss Ma (wife): I found that my husband is a bit circumcised, but he is convinced that he is normal. I saw a lot of information about the bad effects of circumcision: what is prone to inflammation, easy to affect the health of his wife, and so on. Anyway, circumcision is definitely bad. I advised him to see a doctor, but he refused. The circumcision is not the need for surgery, but he said that after surgery the foreskin is short, the opposite will affect the sexual pleasure. In short, neither he nor I can convince anyone. Please ask the experts: who is right in the end? What should I do? There is some truth in what both husband and wife say, but it is important to treat different situations separately. The foreskin is very common in men, generally speaking, if the foreskin mouth is very small, cover no urethral opening, but can be turned up to reveal the glans, it is called prepuce. If you can’t turn it up, it’s called circumcision. The foreskin of Mr. Gu’s case is only half of the glans, not yet belongs to the foreskin is too long. The foreskin, as part of the male external genitalia, has important physiological functions, such as the protection of the glans. At the same time, the inner plate of the foreskin has a certain secretory role, and the secretions contain antibacterial components, among which the more explicit ones are lysozyme, which plays the role of killing germs. However, the moist and warm environment of the foreskin cavity makes it easier for bacteria to multiply here. Therefore, the idea that circumcision alone can cause inflammation is incomplete. It is a matter of balance, and if the growth of bacteria exceeds the self-purification function of the foreskin, inflammation of the foreskin may occur. Repeated inflammation of the foreskin will require surgery to remove the overgrown foreskin. And Miss Ma that the foreskin will affect its health, which is not without basis. Circumcised men, when having sex, it is easy to bring the foreskin and bacteria into the wife’s vagina, so that the wife vaginitis and cervicitis. It has been confirmed that circumcision contains cholesterol, which can be transformed into carcinogenic substances by bacteria and can cause cervical cancer by stimulating women’s vagina and cervix for a long time. According to foreign surveys, 80% of cervical cancer patients have a long-term sexual partner who is circumcised or circumcised. The incidence of cervical cancer in Jewish women is extremely low because of the “circumcision” of male babies shortly after birth, i.e. the removal of the foreskin after birth. According to the above theory, it seems that Mr. Gu must be circumcised, but as we said earlier, different cases should be treated separately. Although Mr. Gu’s foreskin is slightly long, but he pays close attention to personal hygiene, washing the foreskin and glans every day in the shower, so there will be no inflammation of the foreskin and no harboring of foreskin scale. If Miss Ma still have some doubts, you can ask Mr. Gu to wash the foreskin and glans again before sex to “exterminate” all the foreskin scale. For Mr. Gu that the removal of the foreskin will affect the problem of sexual pleasure. Generally speaking, the long foreskin covers the glans, reducing the stimulation of the glans by the underwear and keeping the glans somewhat sensitive. If the foreskin is removed from the “protective” role of the glans, the mucous membrane on the surface of the glans will thicken, making the sensitivity slightly reduced. However, the sensitivity of the glans surface itself is very high, and even if it is slightly reduced, it will not have a great impact on sexual pleasure. One researcher conducted a controlled study of circumcised and circumcised men and found no significant differences in erectile function, ejaculatory function, or overall satisfaction. Therefore, circumcision does not have a significant impact on sexual pleasure, but rather can prolong ejaculation time somewhat. As to whether the foreskin should be removed or not, our opinion is that as long as you pay attention to cleaning every day and no inflammation of the foreskin occurs, there is no need for surgical treatment. For those who do not have the conditions or cannot adhere to daily cleaning of the foreskin and repeated inflammation of the foreskin, surgery is required to remove the overgrown foreskin. In the case of circumcision, if the patient does not receive surgery, it may lead to penile cancer.
