Should men have their penis circumcised?

There have been many comments about foreskin in the past. The editor has also read a lot of information and summarized the information about foreskin that is too long for everyone.

If the foreskin is too long, it will have a great impact on men. Not only will it cause some urinary system diseases in men, but it will also lead to sexual disharmony between couples. If it is more serious, it may lead to infertility in men. Therefore, this seemingly minor disease, the foreskin is too long, but its harm is still quite large and should attract the attention of men. However, most people have no idea about it.

What is foreskin

The main symptom of phimosis is that the glans penis is completely or mostly covered by the foreskin, the foreskin cannot be naturally turned up to expose the coronal sulcus, or it cannot naturally return to its original state after being manually turned up to the coronal sulcus. However, phimosis can be divided into true phimosis and false phimosis.

1. True foreskin is too long

It means that the glans penis cannot be fully exposed even when the penis is erect.

2. Pseudophimosis

It means that the glans is usually covered by the foreskin and is only fully exposed during erection.

3. Phimosis

Among them, the foreskin is too small and the glans is too tightly bound, so that the foreskin cannot be turned over by hand to expose the glans. This is called phimosis.

Men with foreskin that is too long often experience redness and swelling of the foreskin, accompanied by pain, and some may even have difficulty urinating. Patients with long-term incarcerated phimosis may even develop foreskin necrosis. In addition, the following symptoms may occur:

1. For those with long foreskin, white cheese-like smegma will form under the foreskin.

2. The foreskin becomes inflamed, red, swollen, pus-filled, and painful.

3. The foreskin opening is too narrow, which leads to difficulty in urination. The urine stream is thin and forked. When urinating, the foreskin swells like a balloon and is accompanied by a feeling of distension and pain.

But what exactly is the reason for the foreskin to be too long? The editor summarizes the following points

1. The foreskin has been traumatized or burned, causing inflammatory adhesion between the penis and the foreskin, making it impossible to turn the foreskin over and expose the glans.

2. Males are congenitally deficient in male hormones, which results in insufficient power for penis growth and causes foreskin to be too long.

3. Acquired inflammation can cause the penis and foreskin to adhere to each other, and may also cause the foreskin to be too long.

4. Insufficient elasticity of the foreskin or a too narrow opening of the foreskin is also a factor causing foreskin to be too long.

So, should people with foreskin that is too long and has so many problems need circumcision?

Many people say that foreskin that is too long can cause cancer, but according to the editor, foreskin that is too long is not the cause of cancer. It is mainly because foreskin that is too long will accumulate a lot of smegma, which can cause chronic inflammation and even induce cancer. The disease of prepuce is not only harmful to men. If the prepuce is too long, it will cause some urinary system diseases in men. It will also lead to disharmony in the sexual life of couples. In more serious cases, it may lead to infertility in men.

There is also information showing that excessive foreskin and smegma in men are the main causes of cervical cancer in their partners. The incidence of cervical cancer among Jewish women is extremely low, which is believed to be due to the fact that Jewish boys are circumcised at birth. It was found among residents of the South Pacific island of Fiji that the incidence of cervical cancer was eight times higher among wives of uncircumcised men than among women whose husbands were circumcised. Some people have also successfully used smegma to induce cervical cancer in mice. It can be seen from this that an excessively long foreskin will not only bring pain to the man himself, but will also cause his partner to become ill. Therefore, those with an excessively long foreskin should have it removed before marriage.
