Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Will removing the foreskin affect sexual life?Doctor's answer:
1. The foreskin can easily trap dirt and smegma in the coronal sulcus, leading to bacterial growth and increasing the risk of penile diseases (such as penile inflammation, urethritis, penile cancer, etc.), which can also cause bacterial infections in sexual partners.2. The glans is a sensitive area during sexual activity. If it remains hidden under the foreskin for a long time without external stimulation, its sensitivity remains high, making it easier to experience premature ejaculation. Additionally, the irritation from smegma can increase the risk of cervical cancer in women.
3. Excessive foreskin or phimosis can also affect the development of the reproductive organs.
Circumcision is currently the best treatment for excessive foreskin or phimosis. It is recommended to visit the urology department of a regular hospital. Circumcision is a minor surgical procedure in urology, so there is no need to worry excessively.
