Dr. Li Ziqiang, an andrology expert in Shenzhen Hospital, said that the phenomenon of long foreskin is very common among men, and foreskin, as an integral part of male external genitalia, has important physiological functions. The medical profession has been studying the function of foreskin, and with the deepening of the research, the function of foreskin is also being updated. At present, there are two kinds of disputes about whether the foreskin is too long or not. There are two kinds of disputes about whether the foreskin is too long. One view is that the foreskin is too long and will bring a lot of harm. If men have too long foreskin, they must be circumcised, otherwise it will affect reproductive health.

The foreskin covers the penis head and protects the penis head. Because the penis head is a sensitive and easily stimulated part, the covering of foreskin can make people complete various activities more conveniently. Because the foreskin covers the glans of the penis, it can slow down and share the stimulation to the glans in sexual life, thus delaying ejaculation and preventing premature ejaculation. In addition, the foreskin plays a lubricating role in sexual life, which can increase the softness and pleasure in sexual life. The advantages of excessive prepuce and circumcision. The above two views are about whether the prepuce is too long or not. Dr. Li Ziqiang said that from the current situation, the benefits of circumcision are very obvious: 1, circumcision can avoid inflammation. The foreskin is too long to produce scales, which is a hotbed of bacteria. After glans infection, it is likely to cause balanitis, and the redness and swelling of the penis also affect the appearance. This phenomenon can be avoided by cutting off the redundant foreskin. 2, circumcision can remove scales. Scale will accumulate between the foreskin and glans. If men don't pay attention to cleaning, scale will produce an unpleasant smell like cheese. After the foreskin is cut off, there is no place for scale to accumulate. 3, circumcision can enhance sexual life. If the glans penis is often wrapped, it is forced to lack due stimulation, making it too sensitive and leading to premature ejaculation. After cutting off the long foreskin, the penis head often rubs against underwear, which can greatly reduce its sensitivity and prolong the ejaculation time. 4, circumcision can avoid incarcerated phimosis. When the foreskin is too long, the outer opening of the foreskin is narrow. If the foreskin is forcibly turned up and not reset in time, the narrow foreskin mouth can be tightened on the crown groove of the penis, which hinders the blood return of the distal foreskin and the penis head, resulting in swelling of these parts. After circumcision, the symptoms naturally disappear. 5, circumcision can make urination smooth. If the foreskin is too long and the phimosis opening is too small, it is easy to cause small urine flow. Once circumcised, the symptoms disappear.

Dr. Li Ziqiang said that this kind of worry is totally unnecessary. Because a large number of clinical studies have confirmed that there are main sensory nerve fibers under the glans penis, far more than those on the foreskin. Therefore, local circumcision does not reduce sexual sensitivity. On the contrary, after circumcision, the exposure of the glans penis frenum not only does not affect the sensitivity of sexual life, but also helps to improve the sensitivity of sexual life by reducing the chronic stimulation of echinococcosis, thus achieving greater sexual happiness.
