Circumcision is the removal of the overgrown foreskin and the reduction of the excess foreskin. Circumcision is suitable for patients who are overcircumcised or circumcised.
If the foreskin not only covers the entire glans, but also has a narrow foreskin opening and the foreskin cannot be turned out, this state is medically called circumcision.
It is not necessary to operate if the foreskin is too long. There are abundant sebaceous glands in the foreskin, which can secrete a large amount of sebum. The long foreskin will make the secretions of the sebaceous glands in the foreskin can not be discharged, sebum and urine precipitates synthesized cheese-like smelly “foreskin scale”. If you have recurrent episodes of glans penis, you will need surgery, and surgery is mandatory for circumcised patients.
Circumcision in childhood is normal, and infants with prepuce or children with circumcision should not be circumcised if there are no complications. This is because the prepuce in children under 3 years old mostly disappears on its own with age; another part of children will reveal the head of the penis as long as they repeatedly retract the foreskin upward and expand the opening of the foreskin sac, and surgical removal is not necessary.
Patients who are having complications with foreskin and penile head infection are not suitable for surgery for the time being, and must wait for the inflammation to subside before performing surgery.
