Patient's question:
I am in my thirties. I got married at the age of twenty-three. At that time, I didn't pay attention to my long foreskin. Now that I am older, it causes me great discomfort. I often feel that my urine is not clean, and sexual intercourse is also uncomfortable. Can I still have it removed now? Will there be any aftereffects after removal?Additionally, my sexual intercourse time is too short, which is essentially premature ejaculation. Is this related to the long foreskin?
Doctor's answer:
Excessive foreskin can affect penis development and easily lead to balanoposthitis, urinary tract infections, premature ejaculation, and other issues. Surgical treatment is recommended regardless of whether discomfort is present to prevent complications.In daily life, attention should be paid to local hygiene. Regular cleaning with clean water and removing smegma can reduce the occurrence of various complications. Excessive foreskin is related to premature ejaculation, possibly due to increased sensitivity. It is advised to maintain good local hygiene and a light diet. Medical examinations by internal and external specialists can confirm the condition, and if necessary, circumcision may be recommended.
