Patient's question:
Before getting married, I had once suffered from balanitis. The doctor said it was because my foreskin was too long and suggested I should have a circumcision. I didn't take it seriously then, and there were no other problems. But now that I'm married, I feel like the excessive foreskin might affect my sexual function. So, I want to ask—is it necessary to have a circumcision if the foreskin is too long!Doctor's answer:
Hello! Excessive foreskin refers to a condition where, in adult males, the foreskin completely covers the glans, preventing it from being fully exposed. Men with excessive foreskin should seek medical treatment early and undergo a circumcision procedure. For non-inflammatory cases of excessive foreskin, regular cleaning by retracting the foreskin is sufficient, and surgery may not be necessary. If there is inflammation, it is important not to delay surgery but to maintain cleanliness of the external genital area by washing the penis daily. Avoid manually retracting the foreskin, using indiscriminate medications, or relying on unproven remedies. Instead, seek medical attention promptly and have the surgery performed only after the inflammation has subsided.
