Men's imaginations are indeed rich, and they always give their most private parts nicknames, which shows that they cherish "it". Even so, in many countries in the world, in order to reduce the trouble in sexual life and reduce the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases, many men have chosen to let "it" get a knife.
Recently, a message has found a reason for men to "persecute" it. According to the New York Times, a US government research report said that after circumcision, adult men can reduce the risk of AIDS virus (HIV) infection due to sexual life by 60%. If circumcision can be widely adopted, it is estimated that tens of thousands of people will be protected from AIDS at least. In South Africa alone, 2 million people will benefit within 10 years.
As soon as the report was published, many experts at home and abroad argued. Urologists expressed their views on this: "As long as the foreskin doesn't annoy you, don't cut it."
You can't prevent AIDS by circumcising
Experts said that the reason why circumcision will reduce the risk of HIV infection is that the foreskin located in the front of the male penis is easy to first contact HIV. This part of the skin is relatively fragile and easy to break and bleed during sexual life, which gives the virus more chances to invade the body through it. Circumcision just removes this potential danger.
"But it is a bit far fetched to say that the prevention of AIDS depends on circumcision. The measures to prevent AIDS are to stay away from high-risk sexual behavior and wear condoms. With these two points, almost 100% of AIDS can be prevented. Why circumcision?"
So, can circumcision reduce the incidence rate of penis cancer? Experts believe that this is true in some cases. "But circumcision will also bring some new problems, so we advocate that as long as the foreskin does not offend you, and does not cause damage to your development, urinary and reproductive functions, it is better not to circumcise it."
Too long prepuce does not require surgery
No matter which city you are in, you can always see some small advertisements on the overpass and on the electric pole, which are written with the words "treating the foreskin is too long", as if it is a very serious disease. So, what exactly is foreskin too long? Professor Li said that the so-called long foreskin refers to the fact that the glans of an adult man is completely wrapped by the foreskin when the penis is weak, but the glans cannot be fully displayed when the penis is fully erect. If the foreskin is too long, the foreskin scale will accumulate in the foreskin. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it will stimulate the foreskin and glans, cause the foreskin glans inflammation, foreskin stone and other diseases, and even induce penis cancer.
Before the child is seven or eight years old, the foreskin is relatively long, often covering the glans and the external orifice of the urethra; After puberty, the penis grows rapidly, the foreskin retracts automatically, and the glans and urethra are exposed.
According to statistics, one in five men has a slightly longer foreskin. "But this does not mean that all people with too long prepuces should be cut. After cutting, the delicate glans is easy to be exposed, which will hurt when touched, and it may take a long time to adapt to the external environment; some circumcision is not ideal, resulting in the pulling of the foreskin when the penis is erect, causing pain. In fact, as long as you clean more, you can avoid the disease caused by too long prepuce without cutting the foreskin."
As for whether too long foreskin affects sexual life, experts believe that it cannot be generalized. "The glans of some people with excessive foreskin may be more sensitive than that of normal people, and the pleasure in sexual life will be stronger. After circumcision, the glans will be fully exposed, which will reduce its sensitivity and cause premature ejaculation, etc. If the foreskin is too long, it really affects the normal sexual life, it is necessary to receive treatment."
