Male "little brother" will be protected by "coat" when he is born, but with the growth of age, some people have "taken off their coat", while some people still "cover", so will the long-term "cover" will cover the disease?
It can't be said that "covering" means illness, but the probability of illness is much higher than that without "covering", because "covering" causes bacteria to grow in it, and dirt is not easy to remove. Cause the occurrence of disease.
1. Does excessive prepuce have any impact on health?
Long male foreskin may increase children's chances of getting urinary tract infection, and may also cause local foreskin and glans infection and inflammation. Therefore, too long foreskin may have some effects on health, which deserves attention.
2. When is it better to have surgery?
Generally speaking, prepuce surgery should be performed before and after puberty without general anesthesia. However, if the young boy has repeated inflammation or even urinary tract infection due to phimosis or long foreskin, he should be treated with surgery as soon as possible to remove the foreskin.
3. Should men be circumcised?
Not all men should be circumcised. For some reasons, such as religion or adult ceremony, people of some regions or races will make all men undergo circumcision. But from a purely medical point of view, there are the following types of circumcision:
The adult's phimosis and penis still cannot show the glans when erecting. Incarcerated phimosis is an emergency in urology. Due to the long prepuce, the local sanitation becomes worse. This can cause repeated infection in local areas, and even cause adhesion between foreskin and glans. The opening of phimosis is too small, resulting in small urine flow.
4. What should I pay attention to after the foreskin operation?
After surgery, in addition to the fact that the children under general anesthesia need a short period of hospital observation in order to take care of safety, the general patients can still engage in daily work and do not need to be hospitalized. Adolescent and adult patients will have swelling, pain and bleeding due to penis erection after surgery. In case of slight bleeding, only local cold compress and pressure can be used to stop bleeding. In case of severe bleeding, immediately return to hospital. One month after the operation, the patient can resume his sexual life.
