The foreskin, as a piece of skin and tissue on the human body, has protective ** functions, immunity, and sexual-related roles. The male foreskin has a positive effect on the body, so not everyone needs to undergo surgery. What is the normal size of the foreskin in healthy males, and how can one self-test for excessive foreskin? Director Ye Daoyin from Beijing Shun Urology will explain.
1. Self-testing methods for excessive foreskin
1. The foreskin completely covers the ** or has already covered a large part of the **;
2. The foreskin completely covers the ** head and cannot be retracted to the ** corona;
3. The foreskin can be retracted to reveal the **, but the opening is very small and retraction is obstructed;
4. Boys over three years old whose foreskin cannot be retracted to the corona;
5. During urination, the last few drops of urine are difficult to expel;
6. Frequent occurrence of various foreskin inflammations.
2. Normal size of the male foreskin
1. In newborns and infants, the foreskin is usually longer, completely covering the ** head, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. As age increases, the foreskin gradually retracts, exposing more of the ** head.
2. By puberty, with the development of **, the length of the foreskin will also adjust accordingly. At this stage, if the foreskin remains excessively long, causing the ** head to be unable to be fully exposed, attention and consultation with a professional doctor may be needed.
3. After reaching adulthood, the length of the foreskin generally stabilizes. In an erect state, if the foreskin can naturally retract below the corona, fully exposing the ** head, it is usually considered normal.
3. Daily health care recommendations
1. Maintain cleanliness: Regularly wash the foreskin and **, especially before and after sexual activity, to reduce the risk of infection.
2. Avoid excessive cleaning: Do not use highly irritating cleaning agents or scrub excessively, as this may damage the foreskin and ** skin.
3. Pay attention to observation: Regularly check the condition of the foreskin and **, and if any abnormalities (such as redness, swelling, pain, increased secretion, etc.) are found, seek medical attention promptly.
4. Healthy living: Maintain good lifestyle habits, such as quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, balanced diet, and regular sleep, which help to maintain reproductive health.
The foreskin should not be removed on a whim; foreskin surgery should not be a trend. It is essential to consult with professionals and undergo surgery at a specialized hospital, and do not attempt to address this issue on your own!
