Patient's question:
I am 25 years old and have been living with my girlfriend for a while. However, before every sexual activity, I carefully clean my genital area, and the inside of my foreskin is quite dirty. Besides the odor, it sometimes makes me feel embarrassed. I consulted a doctor and they recommended circumcision. Is circumcision a good solution?Doctor's answer:
We are aware that there are benefits to circumcision. Circumcision not only aligns with the physiological recommendations for adolescent males but also improves the quality of sexual life and achieves greater sexual satisfaction. The penis is the male reproductive organ and also the male erogenous zone. The glans penis, its neck, and the foreskin just below it are richly innervated and are the most sensitive areas of the erogenous zone. After birth, the skin of the penis covers the glans. As one grows older, the foreskin gradually retracts away from the glans, exposing it. If the foreskin is too long or too tight, it can easily accumulate dirt, leading to various reproductive organ diseases, and it can also increase stimulation to the sensitive area, affecting sexual life.
