What is the function of foreskin?
All male penises have foreskin, but the length of foreskin is different. Like other organs of the human body, foreskin is born from the womb. It has been growing on the penis from infancy to death, and is the normal physiological structure of men. The foreskin has the function of protecting the glans from trauma and insect bites, and keeping the glans smooth, tender and sensitive.
What is the standard for excessive prepuce?
Long prepuce refers to the fact that the prepuce still covers the urethral orifice after the male puberty. If the prepuce recedes from the urethral orifice or the penis head can extend out of the prepuce orifice when the penis is erect, it should not be regarded as too long prepuce. The key to the difference between the long prepuce and the long prepuce is the word "over". The long prepuce does not necessarily need surgery, but the long prepuce needs surgery.
When is the prepuce done?
Infants or children with long foreskin do not need to undergo prepucectomy prematurely as long as it does not affect urination. Because the penis of children still has a development process, most children have more outdoor activities in childhood, and there are more chances of penis injury. Premature excision of foreskin will lose the role of protecting the glans. Generally speaking, the foreskin will not affect the development of the penis, and it is most appropriate to resect the long foreskin after the male sexual maturity. Therefore, even if the foreskin is too long, it should be removed after puberty or before marriage.
What is phimosis? What should be done?
Phimosis refers to the adhesion between the glans and the foreskin, and the foreskin cannot turn. The phimosis can be divided into complete and partial adhesion. Some phimosis are relatively tight and need surgical separation; Some phimosis adhere loosely or partially. In the absence of inflammation, the prepuce can be turned up. If the adhesion is gradually separated from the glans, the prepuce can be turned up to the coronal groove. For the phimosis with narrow prepuce mouth, if the method of turning the prepuce up or expanding the prepuce is ineffective, the operation should be performed to separate the adhesion and remove the prepuce.
Who should be circumcised?
The indications of circumcision include redundant prepuce, recurrent prepuce inflammation, tightly adherent phimosis, narrow prepuce mouth and prepuce cyst. It is particularly important to point out that patients with repeatedly inflamed prepuce, prepuce cyst, and tightly adherent phimosis accompanied by prepuce stenosis should be treated as soon as possible regardless of age.
Which surgical method is good for excision of prepuce?
Circumcision is one of the simplest operations in urology. The surgical methods include common instrument resection, which has the advantages of neat cutting edge, only slight bleeding and fast healing; Laser knife resection with little or no bleeding, but the healing is late; Electric knife resection, etc. No matter what method is used to remove the prepuce, the inner and outer plates of the prepuce must be sutured to facilitate healing. Several surgical methods have their advantages and disadvantages. As long as the surgeon is skilled, which method can be used.
What is the function of foreskin secretion?
There are prepuce glands in the coronal groove of the inner plate of the prepuce. The prepuce glands, like the sebaceous glands and sweat glands of the human body, have secretory functions. There is too much foreskin secretion in the foreskin cavity. After the water is absorbed, it will form foreskin scale like bean dregs. The secretion of foreskin is serous and weakly alkaline. It is composed of water, trace salts, lipoproteins, etc., and has the function of keeping the glans smooth, avoiding scratches and preventing bacterial invasion.
Do you need to cut foreskin if there is foreskin scaling?
Men have a small or small amount of prepuce secretion from birth to old age. The prepuce secretion is more in youth and decreases after entering middle and old age. The foreskin secretion is the normal secretion of the male foreskin, not a carcinogen, otherwise why did the "creator" grow foreskin glands in the male foreskin when creating humans? Is it just to get penis cancer? Because the secretion of foreskin contains lipoproteins, when it accumulates too much in the foreskin cavity, it will be decomposed by some enzymes and human resident bacteria, forming a white substance like bean dregs and has a special smell of smell, which is annoying, which is commonly known as foreskin scale. Men don't have to worry about the foreskin scale, as long as they clean it timely and keep it clean, and don't have to cut off the foreskin that is not too long to eliminate the foreskin scale.
