It is undeniable that the foreskin is easy to hide dirt, and the accumulation of foreskin not only affects the health of men, making the foreskin and penis red and inflamed, and may even cause some malignant lesions; it also affects the health of partners, leading to cervicitis, vaginitis and other diseases in women. However, as long as the foreskin can be completely turned out, and maintain the habit of cleaning the penis every day, you can effectively prevent the occurrence of the above-mentioned lesions, it is not necessary to “cut off”. The main common misconceptions are as follows: Myth 1: The foreskin must be cut off First of all, we must clarify two concepts – circumcision and circumcision. The foreskin mouth is too small, the foreskin can not flip up to reveal the head of the penis; foreskin is too long is the foreskin covers all the head of the penis, and the foreskin mouth is not small, can barely flip up to reveal part of the penis head.
Some people who suffer from sexually transmitted diseases or frequent penile infections, the virus may be hidden under the foreskin, affecting the treatment, and need to be circumcised; there are also some people with long foreskin, causing difficulties in urination, deformation of the urethra, and even affecting the glans development, also need surgery.
The majority of patients with a long or long foreskin do not need surgery as long as the foreskin can be completely turned out and they pay attention to daily cleaning and keeping their lower body and underwear clean. This part of the population accounts for the majority of men.
Myth 2: Children should be circumcised as soon as they are born and can be done once and for all There is absolutely no need. The foreskin and the head of the penis of newborns and infants will be slightly adhered to the phenomenon, to about one year old this adhesion will gradually disappear, the foreskin and the head of the penis will naturally separate, so the foreskin of children appear longer, this is not abnormal. Moreover, when the child is seven or eight years old, parents should consciously give him more to turn the foreskin outward, not only to help the growth of the foreskin, but also to promote the development of the genitals.
There are children glans and foreskin adhesion, parents took to Renji Hospital to ask Professor Wang Yixin, Professor Wang told him to prepare a tube of eye ointment, and then coaxed the child to talk, and then jerked down, the foreskin turned down, the glans is also exposed, to the bleeding place to apply a little eye ointment, in a few days it will be fine, no surgery at all.
Myth 3: Even if you don’t necessarily need to cut, but there is no harm in circumcision This is not true. First of all, circumcision is a small operation, after all, there are risks, in case the doctor is not in place, there may be serious consequences. Secondly, the foreskin plays an important role in the process of “masturbation” for unmarried men, as the foreskin slides up and down to stimulate the penis and achieve pleasure. If the foreskin is removed, it will definitely affect the “masturbation” process. Once again, when having intercourse with your spouse, the up and down sliding of the foreskin can stimulate the vagina and help to arouse the female orgasm.
The probability of penile cancer is very low, mainly due to the accumulation of foreskin scale. As long as you do a good job of personal hygiene, wash your penis every day and change your underwear regularly, penile cancer can be completely avoided.
If you can avoid circumcision, don’t cut it. For thousands of years, our ancestors rarely circumcised their penises, but they also reproduced normally. Among the patients I see, 98% of them do not need to be circumcised. But there is still a point to emphasize, must pay attention to personal hygiene, wash the lower body every day, is the key to prevent disease.
