Outside the male penis head, there is a double-fold penis skin, which is called foreskin. When the foreskin is turned over, it can be seen that the ring-shaped shrinking part behind the glans is called the coronal groove. There are many sebaceous glands in the skin near the coronal groove, which secrete a smelly secretion in the form of yellow and white mud, called "prepuce scale".
A man, especially before the age of 7, has a relatively long foreskin, covering the entire penis and the external orifice of the urethra. Later, with the development of youth, the volume and length of the penis will increase, and the foreskin will shrink back, exposing the penis head and urethral orifice outside the foreskin. If, in adulthood, the prepuce mouth is narrow, or the prepuce still adheres to the penis head, the prepuce cannot turn up and expose the urethral orifice or penis head, which is called phimosis in medicine; If the foreskin can turn up and reveal the glans, but the foreskin mouth is very small, covering the outside of the urethra, it is said that the foreskin is too long.
Among the adult men in China, 29% have long foreskin and 9% have phimosis.
Can circumcision affect sexual life with anesthetic? " src="//img.jianke.com/article/201504/81896349-20150410170519952.jpg" />
Some people believe that phimosis and long foreskin do not hinder sexual life and fertility, so they are not a genital disease. In fact, this view is not scientific. Because, whether phimosis or foreskin is too long, it is harmful to human body.
I have to be operated on because of phimosis. I heard that the injection of anesthesia into the penis during the operation will affect the erection of the penis in the future and will be harmful to the future sexual life. Please explain whether this statement is correct.
Before the prepuce operation, the anesthetic is injected around the nerve at the root of the penis to achieve the analgesic effect of the operation. Generally speaking, the anesthetic effect only lasts for 1 to 2 hours. After that, the anesthetic is absorbed and sent to the liver for decomposition and destruction. The local part of the penis has no anesthetic, and the various sensory and reflex functions of the penis have returned to normal. The anesthesia process has no damage to the penis. On the contrary, if the phimosis is not operated, it will affect the penis erection and sexual life.
