Patient's question:
When is it generally done? What should be noted after doing it? What are the benefits of doing it? Does it have the effect of prolonging sexual function? I am still a virgin. 19 years old.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you have excessive foreskin, it is easy for dirt to accumulate under the skin and cause infection. Moreover, it is prone to recurring and difficult to cure. If you have sexual activity, it can lead to mutual cross-infection between partners. In severe cases, bacteria may invade the urethra, prostate, or bladder. Due to the long-term coverage of the foreskin over the glans, the skin of the glans becomes overly sensitive, leading to premature ejaculation. Therefore, it is recommended for patients with excessive foreskin to undergo circumcision early.The surgical procedure takes about 20 to 30 minutes and does not require hospitalization. The risk of the surgery is very low. Possible complications include: insufficient removal of the foreskin, resulting in a stricture ring; the glans not being able to be exposed; excessive removal of the foreskin, leading to painful erections or upward curvature of the penis. However, these cases are rare.
