Patient's question:
I am 11-12 centimeters when erect, and when not erect, the glans is completely covered. When erect, half of the glans is exposed. Recently, my glans has been itchy at night, making it impossible for me to sleep. I don't know what's wrong, and my family suggests I get circumcised. Is it good to get circumcised?Doctor's answer:
Here is the English translation of the provided content, with line breaks preserved as instructed:---
1. Circumcision can prevent premature ejaculation during work and effectively shorten sexual intercourse time.
2. Circumcision can prevent the worsening of inflammation. When phimosis or excessive foreskin occurs, the secretions of the sebaceous glands under the foreskin cannot be expelled, gradually forming foul-smelling smegma. Smegma is conducive to bacterial growth, which can lead to inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin.
3. Circumcision can completely treat excessive foreskin. Excessive foreskin refers to the condition where, after a man reaches adulthood, the skin of the penis tightly covers the glans, preventing it from fully protruding.
4. Circumcision can improve sexual quality and prevent the recurrence of penile cancer.
