Patient's question:
A few days ago, my foreskin itched and my urethral mouth was red. I pinched my foreskin with my hand, and the skin peeled off.Doctor's answer:
Hypospadias, due to excessive foreskin, the secretion of the inner foreskin cannot be cleaned in time, which allows bacteria to grow and multiply, leading to an increase in foreskin secretion, smegma, and odor. In severe cases, it can cause local inflammation, known as balanoposthitis. On one hand, bacteria can ascend retrogradely to infect the urethra, prostate, seminal vesicles, epididymis, and testicles. On the other hand, it can also be transmitted to a sexual partner during intercourse, causing conditions such as vulvitis, vaginitis, cervicitis, and endometritis in women. Therefore, from a modern medical perspective, circumcision is better than not having it done. It is recommended that you visit the urology department of a hospital with the necessary facilities to undergo a circumcision.
