Most boys have so-called physiological phimosis at birth. With the growth of their bodies (birds), the foreskin of most children will naturally loosen below the glans before puberty. However, for some reason, the foreskin will not shrink below the glans, and some children will not show the whole glans. However, because the child cannot easily judge whether the foreskin is too long during infancy, some parents choose to have the foreskin removed surgically when the child is born. So is this right? stay
Before, let's look at the advantages and disadvantages of circumcision
Advantages: It is sanitary and hides the legend of the Jianghu that dirt is not easy to infect. The exposure of the glans and external friction can reduce the sensitivity. (The statistical data in this part is insufficient. You can use it as a reference.)
Disadvantages: Unfortunately, if it is not carefully cut off, the protection of the glans that may become ugly in the future will be reduced, and the foreskin that is prone to friction damage will have good ductility. If skin grafting is needed for reconstruction, this is a good source of material, but if it is cut off, it will not.
The above are the advantages and disadvantages of circumcision. I believe you have already known about them, but whether it is necessary to cut the foreskin surgically or not depends on the situation. In general, circumcision is not necessary under normal circumstances, but there are still abnormal circumstances that require circumcision. It is recommended to perform surgical circumcision under the following circumstances:
1. When you are young, you still cannot open the foreskin, which is easy to cause more serious phimosis problems. The foreskin is barely opened and blocked, the venous return is blocked, the foreskin is swollen and painful, the glans is black, and the serious consequences of necrosis.
2. When urinating, the prepuce mouth is too small, and the prepuce expands like a water ball before urinating.
3. The male infant has anti-bullying infection of urethra or penis foreskin.
4. The foreskin is really too long, even after erection. (It is easy to observe near puberty)
In case of the above, the mother is recommended to take the child to the hospital immediately. As for whether a newborn baby needs to be circumcised, the most important thing parents need is to see what the doctor says. They can't decide by themselves. But what we need to know here is that if there are no special circumstances and harmful symptoms, it is recommended not to cut the foreskin surgically, because most children's foreskin will shrink behind the glans in the process of growth, so we need not worry too much.
