Generally speaking, before the age of 7, the foreskin of boys is long and can completely cover the head of the penis and the urethral opening. However, about 30% of the adult foreskin still completely covers the head of the penis. Only when the foreskin is turned up by hand or when the penis is fully erect, the head of the penis and the urethral opening can be exposed, it is called circumcision.
If the foreskin opening is narrow, or if the foreskin and the head of the penis remain attached, and the foreskin cannot be turned up to reveal the urethral opening or the head of the penis, it is medically called prepuce. When the foreskin is too long or tight, if the foreskin is not reset in time after forcibly turning up, so that the tight foreskin mouth is like a narrow ring tightly strangled in the glans coronalis, medically it is called foreskin inlay. The area below the imbedded, blood circulation and lymphatic flow is obviously obstructed, resulting in local edema, more difficult to reset. If it is embedded for a long time, the head of the penis will be bruised, eroded or necrotic due to lack of blood.
What are the effects of circumcision on health?
1, the foreskin is too long sometimes can not be turned upward, the foreskin sebum will accumulate in the space between the inner surface of the foreskin and the head of the penis. When urine infiltrates and chemical reaction occurs with this sebum, it forms prepuce scale and accumulates in the area, producing a strange odor and stimulating local inflammation of the foreskin and mucous membrane, causing infection. The common clinical ones are acute superficial foreskin glansitis, annular ulcerative foreskin glansitis, candida foreskin glansitis, trichomonas foreskin glansitis, etc. (It is easier to treat when you visit a regular hospital).
2. Sometimes the long term accumulation of foreskin scale will turn into hard lumps, leading to frequent inflammation of foreskin and penis head, and directly stimulating the head of penis to induce penile cancer. There are many Jewish boys who were circumcised at birth and the incidence of penile cancer is 0%, compared to our country where the incidence of penile cancer is higher and most of the patients are circumcised or circumcised when they develop.
3.Circumcision also affects sex life to a certain extent. Repeated inflammation of the foreskin can easily lead to adhesion of the glans and foreskin, which can restrict the erection of the penis and cause painful intercourse. And there are many friends who have just started to have sex, because the glans is hidden in the foreskin for a long time has not seen the day, too sensitive, the stimulation of sex twitching friction soon ejaculate (premature ejaculation), especially just newlywed friends encounter such a thing is a great thing.
4, there is also if the action during sex is too large, too long, it is very easy to overcrowd the foreskin above the coronal groove, forming a tight ring, if not restored to its original position in time, will block the penis blood flow back, resulting in foreskin edema, redness, the formation of foreskin embedded.
5, there are circumcision easy to affect women’s health. As the foreskin scale contains a large number of bacteria, sexual intercourse can invade the woman’s vagina and cause infection. The long-term stimulation of foreskin scale is also one of the factors that lead to cervical cancer in women.
6, in addition, there is information on the circumcision of the circumcised people, the recurrence rate of condyloma acuminata decreased, the rate of HIV infection decreased (cleanliness of these will not happen!). .
Is it true that surgery is needed whenever a person is circumcised?
For non-inflamed circumcision, surgery is not necessary as long as the foreskin is frequently turned up and cleaned. For recurrent inflammation of the foreskin, surgery is recommended. If the inflammation cannot be operated early, you should also keep your vulva clean and wash it every day. Don’t believe in any “prescriptions”, but go to a regular hospital and ask your doctor to handle it in time, and do the surgery after the inflammation disappears.
If you’re a person with a long foreskin, you should be circumcised before marriage. After the treatment, then start sexual life. If you are not treated with this treatment, you should clean your penis locally before intercourse and wash it after intercourse; in addition, you should keep your sexual organs locally lubricated, and during intercourse, the action should not be violent to avoid embedded prepuce or torn ties.
In fact, with the development of modern medicine, circumcision is already a very small surgery, but the surgery is small, but also to go to the regular hospital, do not believe in “small ads”.
