Why do men get circumcised? How to determine if the foreskin is too long?
History of previous treatment and its effectiveness: I haven't had any.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the so-called foreskin refers to the foreskin completely covering the glans, where the glans is never exposed at any time. If the foreskin is too long and can be cleaned frequently to maintain cleanliness in the foreskin cavity, it does not need to be treated. However, if there is repeated infection, circumcision can be performed; while phimosis requires surgical treatment. Foreskin and phimosis can easily cause the following adverse effects: premature ejaculation, anejaculation, impaired urination function, easy occurrence of paraphimosis, impaired normal development of the glans, and induce balanoposthitis and other male health issues. Foreskin problems are a major disease for men, and it is recommended to go to a professional urological hospital for examination and treatment.
