Patient's question:
My foreskin seems a bit long, but it's not phimosis. Will it affect sexual life? Does it need to be removed? If surgery is performed, are there any risks?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition:Hello, based on the information you provided, the male has excessive foreskin, but it does not affect sexual life, so it is not necessary to have the foreskin surgically removed.
Suggestions:
Excessive foreskin in males can easily lead to the accumulation of smegma, which may cause balanoposthitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin) and may even lead to penile cancer. Therefore, it is best to have the foreskin surgically removed. However, if it does not affect sexual life and there is no balanoposthitis, surgery is not necessary. However, it is important to regularly clean the smegma, avoid unsafe sexual practices, and prevent the accumulation of smegma.
