The foreskin is a layer of protective film on the outer side of the penis, which is a cap on the glans. The foreskin is commonly used by men to protect the penis, as the penis is the root of a man and is particularly delicate and vulnerable to injury during infancy. The second reason is that there are many rich nervous systems inside the glans, which can cause a strong sense of irritation when rubbing against objects.
If the foreskin is still wrapped when the penis is erect, it can have a side effect. "The foreskin adheres to the head of the penis, the foreskin opening is narrow, the foreskin cannot be turned down, the urethral opening and the head of the penis cannot be exposed, which is called phimosis in medicine;"; "Although the foreskin can be turned down to expose the glans, it remains in an infant's state and covers the glans and the external orifice of the urethra, which is called excessive foreskin.". Whether it's phimosis or overlong foreskin, there are certain side effects on the human body, and it can even be said that the disadvantages outweigh the benefits.
If the foreskin is too long, be sure to receive treatment, and infancy is the best time for treatment. According to their severity, parents' attitudes, and conditions, they were selected: external prepuce opening enlargement, external prepuce opening incision, and circumcision. Among them, for mild phimosis, the external opening of the foreskin can be enlarged without anesthesia in a conscious state, and the foreskin can be turned down to separate the adhesion between the glans and the foreskin, exposing the glans to the coronal groove, and removing the foreskin dirt. After that, parents turn over the foreskin by hand every day for cleaning. If the foreskin is not too long, the outer opening of the foreskin will gradually expose naturally as the penis grows, and circumcision may not be necessary in the future.
When a doctor performs an incision of the outer opening of the foreskin, he must perform it under anesthesia, splitting the outer opening of the foreskin longitudinally on the dorsal side, exposing at least half of the glans. This operation is simple and suitable for emergency situations, such as severe infection of the foreskin and incarceration of the foreskin. The disadvantage is that the foreskin is not beautiful after healing. And circumcision is the most commonly used and widely used method to treat phimosis and redundant prepuce at home and abroad. Although the surgical methods are slightly different, they are all circular excision of the redundant prepuce, which completely exposes the glans, eliminates the dead angle between the prepuce and the glans, and maintains its cleanliness "once and for all.".
Therefore, men's foreskin must not be ignored. In fact, it is necessary to promptly detect and receive treatment when they are infants. The treatment methods for foreskin must be carefully selected, and do not blindly follow the trend. It is necessary to make decisions after the doctor's diagnosis, maintain good communication with the doctor, and only in this way can they be cured in a timely manner.
