Does circumcision have side effects?

Patient's question:

I am nineteen years old, and my foreskin hasn't retracted yet. Last night, I retracted it myself, but I haven't been able to put it back yet. I don't plan to put it back. Will this affect the health of my penis or my sexual ability? Does retracting the foreskin with hands have any side effects?

Doctor's answer:

This condition may lead to hydrocephalus of the penile foreskin, affecting the blood supply to the penis. It is recommended to restore the foreskin. If the foreskin is too long, surgery is best to avoid impacting the growth and development of the penis, and even causing sexual dysfunction. For patients, if the condition of andrological diseases is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered, with proper medication. Otherwise, the andrological disease may recur. Additionally, patients should pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
