The ludicrous story of circumcision
The question of whether or not to cut the foreskin is one that many men and parents of boys struggle with. If you type in the word “circumcision” on Baidu, you can find 385,000,000 results, mostly pointing to questions such as “how risky is the surgery” and “how to choose the right time for the surgery”. Most of them point to questions such as “how risky is the surgery” and “how to choose the timing of the surgery”.
There are many ludicrous stories of circumcision: there are parents who turn the foreskin of their three- or four-month-old circumcised baby, causing the child’s foreskin to break and become red and swollen; there are young people who seek help from the “evil school” for circumcision, resulting in localized penile necrosis; there are 18-year-old boys who save their money for surgery to celebrate their bar mitzvah, and pregnant women who force “prospective fathers” to be circumcised. The “father” to cut the foreskin, both to prevent disease and to prevent maternity “cheating” unless there are recurrent infections, endangering their own health and that of their partners, circumcision generally do not glibly talk about knife, and not blindly believe in the “saber-rattling” type of treatment The actual “life root” can be hurt.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen this.
“Foreskin is very common in baby boys, if you look closely, the majority of them belong to the prepuce, can be divided into physiological and pathological two.” A child with a long foreskin has a foreskin that covers the urethra, but can be turned up to reveal the urethra and the head of the penis. In contrast, the foreskin of a circumcised baby cannot be turned up and the foreskin opening is very small. Some babies become circumcised because the foreskin is not cleaned in time and the foreskin adheres to the glans after inflammation has occurred.
Generally speaking, physiological prepuce is “relatively too long”. In infancy, the male foreskin is generally long, but with the growth and development, part of the narrow foreskin mouth can be expanded, the foreskin can be turned up, especially after entering the youth development period, the penis grows, the foreskin retracts, the glans will be exposed. Therefore, usually just pay attention to keep the foreskin cavity clean to avoid infection caused by the accumulation of foreskin scale, usually do not need surgery to remove the foreskin. If the glans is still completely encased by the foreskin when it enters puberty and cannot be turned out, constituting pathological prepuce, especially if there are repeated infections, surgery can be considered.
Infants.
Surgery has risks and three conditions need to be met
Compared to adult surgery, infant circumcision is not a small risk. First, babies need to take general anesthesia, which requires a high level of anesthesia in the hospital. The second is to operate on the tiny genitalia, and pediatric surgeons can easily get into trouble if their skills are not up to par.
If an infant is to be circumcised, three conditions should be met: first, the child has recurring inflammation, always urinating frequently, with redness and swelling of the foreskin; second, the foreskin scale is severe; and third, it affects urination. Parents can observe whether the circumcised baby “boo-boo” the following situation: the foreskin of the head of the penis first bulge a small bag, stop a few seconds before a line of urine spray out. After urinating, a small amount of urine drips down again after a few seconds of pause. “The slow urination, in two parts, indicates that urine is left in the foreskin cavity.” This is more likely to harbor dirt and repeatedly cause inflammation.
Adults.
A lot of circumcised men are afraid to delay for a long time to affect sexual function and their own health, more likely to resort to the so-called “painless and bloodless” and other “saber-rattling” type of treatment. As a result of circumcision, Mr. Xu, 25, often has urinary tract infections. The company’s main goal is to provide a solution to the problem of the problem. The company has been diagnosed with local necrosis after the surgery.
In recent years, laser and infrared circumcision surgery has been advertised a lot, which has moved many patients who are afraid of pain. However, patients are not aware that lasers and infrared rays can also cause damage to the skin, and the healing time of this electrothermal injury is longer than that of a knife cut, which can lead to ischemic necrosis of the penis if the operation is faulty and the cavernous vessels are injured.
It is advisable to rest fully in bed after surgery
For adult circumcision or prepuce, it is necessary to deal with it, and the key lies in the choice of the timing of surgery. “Overcircumcision or prepuce may lead to frequent inflammation and increase the chance of developing penile cancer. After marriage, as the glans is protected by the foreskin for a long time, it is very sensitive to stimulation and may trigger premature ejaculation. In addition, it makes the partner have a higher chance of vaginitis and cervical cancer.” Especially after puberty, the glans appears to grow for the second time, but because it is tightly wrapped by the foreskin, its development is greatly restricted, resulting in a small glans, which affects self-confidence and sexual pleasure.
There are no strict requirements for adults to undergo circumcision in terms of specific time selection, and it can be done anytime. However, it is necessary to recuperate for two to three weeks after the surgery, and it is best to be able to rest fully in bed for a few days after the surgery, and avoid sexual stimulation during the recovery period.
Tip.
When cleaning the foreskin, do not turn it over forcibly. Those with long foreskin or prepuce should pay attention to the following points in their daily life.
1, circumcised people should flip the foreskin every day when showering, so that the glans is exposed, clean the foreskin scale, and then flip back the foreskin after the local dryness.
2, infant circumcision, parents should insist on pushing the foreskin up every day, it is advisable to push up gently and gradually, do not turn the bottom with force at once, it is best to shower, tub bath should clean the anus first before cleaning the urethra to avoid infection.
3, baby boys should not wear crotch pants, so that the genitals exposed. If you wear diapers, you should change them regularly. Adult men should pay attention to clean genitals before and after sex.
4. If the foreskin is broken and red when it is turned over, erythromycin eye ointment can be applied to the broken area. Infants and children with inflammation should not use potassium permanganate solution to sit in the bath, so as not to deploy difficult to grasp the concentration, making the child’s scrotal skin and even the urethra corroded. Even when adults use potassium permanganate solution for local cleaning, they should pay attention to the concentration and avoid too high concentration to avoid local burns.
