Patient's question:
I am 23 years old this year, and I'm not married yet. I heard that excessive foreskin can lead to premature ejaculation. Is that true?Doctor's answer:
① In the short term, it is generally not noticeable that there is any impact. However, the prolonged presence of excess foreskin can lead to the accumulation of dirt in the foreskin. If not cleaned properly, it may cause symptoms of balanitis, such as itching, odor, and increased discharge. There is also a risk of developing prostatitis, and in severe cases, it may lead to a shorter duration of sexual activity. ② It is recommended that individuals with phimosis or excessive foreskin undergo a circumcision procedure. This can not only effectively prevent infections of various urinary system inflammations post-surgery but also improve future sexual quality and enhance marital harmony.
