Circumcision means that the foreskin covers the head of the penis in a non-erect state, but can be turned upward to reveal the head of the penis; or when the penis is erect, the foreskin needs to be pushed by hand to fully reveal the head of the penis. The foreskin is narrow, tightly wrapped around the head of the penis, can not turn up the foreskin and reveal the head of the penis. If the opening of the foreskin is narrow, the foreskin rises when you urinate and you may have difficulty in urination. The foreskin and the head of the penis accumulate more foreskin scale.
The foreskin, constantly and gradually turned up and cleaned, 3 to 4 years after birth, the inner and outer plates are separated, more can be self-healing, there is no rush to deal with. Generally speaking, after the age of 3, 90% of male circumcision can gradually heal itself, to I 7 years old, there are less than l% of circumcision. If the foreskin is too long and the prepuce cannot heal itself, circumcision is feasible.
First, the treatment of premature ejaculation.
The head of the penis, coronal sulcus and foreskin ties are rich in nerve endings and contain specialised nerve vesicles, which are the main areas of the penis that feel sexual stimulation. Theoretically, it is believed that when the foreskin is too long and circumcised, the sexually sensitive areas such as the head of the penis, coronal groove and foreskin ligament cannot be exposed or less exposed and less stimulated, so they will be more sensitive to sexual stimulation, which will easily lead to premature ejaculation. This is the reason why some academic views believe that circumcision and partial laparotomy can treat premature ejaculation.
Second, prevention of cancer.
At present, it is believed that circumcision and phimosis are important causes of penile cancer. The evidence for this view is mainly as follows.
(1) The majority of patients with penile cancer have a history of circumcision or prepuce. Domestic literature reports that more than 90% of penile cancer patients are circumcised or circumcised.
(2) The incidence of penile cancer can be significantly reduced by early circumcision. In some countries and regions, circumcision is performed on newborn boys after birth for religious reasons, and penile cancer is rare in these countries and regions. For example, a study shows that the incidence of penile cancer in Israeli boys circumcised after 1 0 days of birth is only 0.1/100,000, while in some Asian countries it can be 0.34-1.09/100,000.
(3) Circumcision has carcinogenic effect in animal test. Inoculation of circumcision into the reproductive tract of female animals can lead to the occurrence of cervical cancer and other malignant tumors.
Third, prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.
The study showed that after circumcision, the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases such as condyloma acuminata, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, syphilis, soft chancre and genital herpes decreased, suggesting that circumcision is a risk factor for the above-mentioned sexually transmitted diseases. The increase in the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases such as condyloma acuminata, syphilis, soft chancre and genital herpes may be related to the fragility of the mucous membrane of the inner plate of the foreskin, which is easily damaged.
The significance of the surgery is mainly as follows.
(a) Prevention of disease It can prevent urethritis, glansitis, penile cancer, HIV infection and other sexually transmitted diseases. In particular, studies have confirmed that most patients with penile cancer are circumcised or circumcised. In addition, it can prevent vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis and cervical cancer in spouses, and many men are forced by their wives to have the surgery.
(The majority of the receptors of the penis are located in the foreskin, the coronal sulcus, and the head of the penis. Therefore, some academic opinions believe that after circumcision, the sensory threshold of the penis head will be increased, which will help prolong the ejaculation latency and improve the couple’s life.
Complications of circumcision: Although circumcision is a very small operation, there are certain complications that may occur. Such as varying degrees of edema, hematoma. Those who are scarred may have more obvious surgical scars, and in severe cases, they may have re-stenosis of the foreskin opening, etc. Some patients will also experience transient, psychological ED (erectile dysfunction).
Contraindications to circumcision.
①Inferior urethral cleft;
②Urethral cleft;
③Hidden penis or buried penis;
④small penis;
⑤ penile curvature deformity;
⑥Pu-shaped penis.
Any surgery has risks Before surgery, it is worthwhile to do a weighing of pros and cons and think twice before you go. First, it is recommended to consult with a regular male specialist physician for a clear diagnosis. Second, with a clear diagnosis, figure out what problem you expect to mainly want to solve with this surgery and whether the possible risks can be borne? If the surgery is done purely for the purpose of improving the appearance of the penis, improving conjugal life, prolonging ejaculation, etc., you must be fully prepared and consult your physician clearly to find out the possible risks and complications before deciding whether to perform circumcision.
