Not every boy needs to be circumcised, but for health problems caused by too long prepuce or phimosis, it is necessary to decide whether to operate according to personal conditions. Circumcision is generally used to solve problems such as difficulty in cleaning, recurrent inflammation, or affecting normal life, and is not a necessary choice for every male.
1. Symptoms of foreskin elongation or phimosis
Foreskin elongation refers to the foreskin being too long, covering the entire glans and unable to be naturally exposed, which may hinder cleaning and cause bacterial growth. Phimosis refers to the narrowing of the foreskin that cannot be pulled down, causing the glans to be unable to fully expose, which may lead to urinary tract infections or inflammation. Both of these situations may have adverse effects on health, and if they are too severe, surgery may be necessary to improve them.
2. Health Risks and Symptoms
If the foreskin is too long or phimosis is not treated in a timely manner, it may lead to the following problems:
Increased risk of infection: accumulation of dirt on the outer opening of the foreskin, easy growth of bacteria and viruses, which may lead to balanitis or urinary tract infections.
Sexual discomfort: Tight foreskin may cause pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse, affecting the quality of sexual life.
Urinary obstruction: Severe phimosis may lead to difficulty urinating.
3. Judgment on whether circumcision is necessary
Not all cases of redundant prepuce need surgery, and mild redundant prepuce will not affect health if it is properly cleaned. If men are able to retract and clean their foreskin without any related health issues, there is no need for forced surgery. But if inflammation, infection, or other symptoms occur frequently, medical evaluation is needed to determine whether surgery is necessary.
4. Treatment methods and surgical choices
If surgery is an inevitable solution, the following types of foreskin surgery can be chosen:
Traditional surgical cutting method: suitable for patients with severe phimosis or foreskin elongation, the incision can improve health and comfort.
Laser cutting method: Less trauma, faster recovery, but higher price.
Circumcision Suture Method: Faster completion of suturing, suitable for patients pursuing rapid recovery. After the surgery is completed, it is necessary to keep it clean and follow the doctor's advice for recovery, which usually takes 1-2 weeks.
Circumcision is not a must for every man, but it is an effective improvement measure for men with the above health problems. It is recommended to communicate with a doctor in a timely manner when foreskin problems are discovered, and decide whether surgery is necessary through scientific evaluation. The health condition varies from person to person, and scientific and reasonable judgment is the top priority.
