Although circumcision is a minor surgery, do not blindly follow the trend as not everyone needs surgery. Not all bracts need to be circumferentially cut, as accidental cutting can have a significant impact on physiology and psychology.
1. The difference between long bracts and bracts
Phimosis too long
Bract elongation refers to the condition where the head of the shady stem is covered by the foreskin and cannot be fully exposed when it is weak or erect. However, the bract can be wrapped by hand and freely flipped up above the coronal sulcus.
Phimosis
Phimosis is caused by a narrow opening of the foreskin or adhesion between the bract and the glans penis, which prevents the glans penis from being retracted and exposed.
2. When does surgery need to be performed
Long foreskin is more prone to accumulation of dirt and dirt, so it should be carefully cleaned when taking a shower; If the cleanliness of the foreskin can be ensured, it can be left untreated. However, if bacteria often breed and cause infection, or secretion and sediment accumulate seriously to form smegma, pruritus, odor, etc., surgery should be performed as soon as possible.
Phimosis has more impact on the human body than foreskin elongation. The phimosis cannot be turned up to expose the head of the turtle, and smegma will accumulate in the foreskin for a long time, causing adhesion of the head of the foreskin turtle, balanitis of the foreskin, and chronic repeated infection is prone to tortoise head cancer.
At what age is it better to undergo surgery
Children: Generally, by the age of 3 to 5, more than half of the boys' glans penis can gradually reveal. If there is still some adhesions in the foreskin, a urologist can be consulted to release the adhesions and divide them by hand, without the need for surgery. If the foreskin opening of boys aged 5 to 6 is still very narrow and cannot expose the glans penis during examination, surgical treatment is recommended.
Adults: Adult phimosis can be operated on at any time.
4. Short and small shade stems, beware of being accidentally cut
The inability to expose the glans is not only due to phimosis or excessive foreskin, but also possibly due to concealed glans.
The appearance of the hidden penis is short and small, and there are no problems such as difficulty urinating. However, because the penis is hidden under the skin, it often creates a false appearance of phimosis; But it is completely different from phimosis and phimosis because the outer skin of the concealed penis is not too long, but too short, and the penis body is not small but normal. Therefore, occult penis is not suitable for circumcision surgery, and the disease of occult penis must be ruled out before circumcision surgery.
5. Although the surgery is small, it still needs to be meticulously crafted
Although circumcision is only a minor surgery, it should not be underestimated. It is a surgery that involves important personal organs. However, if the surgery is not professional, overly fast, and does not handle details properly, it can cause infection and postoperative discomfort. Therefore, any small surgery is a work of art that needs to be meticulously crafted, and precise positioning is necessary during the surgery process to avoid cutting too much to cause the foreskin to be too short, or cutting too little to achieve the purpose of exposing the turtle's head. It is necessary to detect and promptly correct congenital malformations. Postoperative treatment is necessary to promptly address issues such as incision edema, infection, and scars. When encountering problems after surgery, you need to promptly seek medical attention from the chief surgeon and not be embarrassed to speak up to avoid irreparable damage.
