Patient's question:
I was around 7 or 8 years old in November 1996 when my mom took me to see a doctor. She asked if I should have a circumcision. Later, it seems the doctor said it wasn't necessary, so I didn't have it. When I'm soft, I can pull back the foreskin to the corona, but the last part doesn't show and gets stuck a bit. It's not uncomfortable, though, and it's easy to pull back again. What should I do? Can I avoid surgery? If I do need it, I want to wait until this summer vacation. I have no discomfort and have never had any inflammation. I clean myself very actively every day, but the foreskin is stuck at two points at the corona and hasn't been pulled down for cleaning.Doctor's answer:
In your case, you can also choose not to have a circumcision. However, an overly long foreskin can easily retain urine and accumulate smegma, which may lead to inflammation, infection, and hinder the normal development of the reproductive organs. Additionally, prolonged tight coverage of the glans can cause increased sensitivity, leading to premature ejaculation and recurring cases of erectile dysfunction. The recommended age for surgery is generally between 8 and 13 years old, as it does not interfere with the normal development of the penis. The condition of foreskin adhesion is not easily resolved. Friends with this condition should maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in overcoming foreskin adhesion and believe that recovery is certain.
