There are three conditions of a boy’s foreskin:
Normal foreskin:
The foreskin retracts **back, exposing most of the** glans (**).
Long foreskin:
The foreskin completely covers the urethral opening, but can be pushed back by hand, fully exposing **.
Phimosis:
The foreskin is not only long, but the opening is narrow, tightly constricting **, and cannot be retracted even with manual effort.
Should teenagers undergo circumcision?
In fact, not all cases of long foreskin require surgery. If it is simply a matter of long foreskin without affecting development or accompanied by other inflammatory infections, then surgery is not necessary. Regular cleaning and personal hygiene suffices.
However,
If the following conditions occur,
it is necessary to consider surgery promptly:
1. Recurrent **inflammation, balanititis**, which can easily lead to foreskin rupture.
2. After pubertal development of the genitals, if the foreskin opening remains narrow and cannot retract to expose **, it severely affects ** development.
3. Recurrent paraphimosis.
Advantages of circumcision
01
Replacing traditional foreskin cutting surgery with a pain-free management protocol, requiring no injections, is safe, simple, and quick.
02
Advanced technology that is minimally invasive, no incisions, automatic suturing with mild edema and reduced bleeding, allowing children to walk home after the procedure.
03
Circumcision integrates cosmetic surgery, leaving no scars, with a neat and aesthetic appearance post-operation, easy care, relatively fast recovery, and high comfort after surgery.
