Circumcision Health Education What is Circumcision? What is circumcision?
Circumcision means that although the foreskin covers the head of the penis, it can be turned back to reveal the head of the penis. The circumcision is the narrow opening of the foreskin that covers the head of the penis and cannot be turned upward to reveal the head of the penis. The narrowing of the foreskin opening in pediatric circumcision can cause obstruction to urination, and the retained urine can form a foreskin scale, causing repeated inflammation of the glans and foreskin, leading to adhesion of the foreskin and upstream urinary tract infection.
Pediatric prepuce Adult circumcision Why should I be circumcised?
Foreskin secretions combine with epithelial tissue shedding cells to form foreskin scale, which gathers in the foreskin gap and is a bacterial culture medium with obvious effects, increasing the incidence of urinary tract infections and glans prepuce, and repeated glans prepuce inflammation can cause malignancy.
The appearance and unpleasant smell of foreskin scale makes women feel unpleasant during sexual intercourse, while easily causing infection in the female genital tract.
The penile foreskin is rich in macrophages (langerhans cells) that can be attacked by HIV, which are the target cells for HIV transmission and infection, and evidence from Africa suggests that circumcision can reduce HIV infection rates by up to 65%.
A circumcised man is less likely to be infected with human papillomavirus (HPV) and his sexual partner has a reduced risk of cervical cancer.
Circumcision is a risk factor for a variety of systemic and local diseases, including glans circumcision, urinary tract infections, HIV, HPV, chlamydia, penile cancer, and cervical cancer in sexual partners, and circumcision is beneficial for health and lifelong benefits.
Does circumcision affect sexual function?
Circumcision is beneficial for sexual behavior. Sexual behavior and erection are controlled by the nervous system, and the erectile function of the penis is largely neurovascular, involving sensory, motor, autonomic and neurotransmitters, penile cavernous sinus structures, penile blood circulation and sex hormones. There are indeed sensory nerve endings in the foreskin, but such nerve endings are distributed in large numbers in the rest of the penile skin, glans and urethra. Circumcision does not affect the initiation of erectile function and does not affect sexual pleasure. Circumcision reflects the care for women and is favored by sexual partners.
