Circumcision (circumcision) is normal in some cultures. In Jewish and Muslim families, all male children undergo this procedure. Making a decision at a more mature age is not easy. To do this, you need to consider all the nuances and consequences of circumcision.
Instructions
Step 1
Usually circumcision is performed on the first or second day of a baby's life. In the third month, the risk of all kinds of complications increases significantly. The procedure itself takes no more than 10 minutes. It is performed under the influence of local anesthesia. At a later age, this surgery is usually done for medical reasons. For example, in the treatment of phimosis (narrowing of the foreskin of the male genital organ). It is also common in the case of chronic balanoposthitis (inflammation of the foreskin and head), provided that conservative therapy is unsuccessful.
Step 2
It is impossible to say unequivocally about the benefits of circumcision or its harm. This procedure is useful for adult men in terms of preventing infections of the genitourinary system. It is believed that in this way you can reduce the risk of penile cancer. Although circumcision reduces the risk of transmission of infections, only protected sex can give full guarantee in this case.
Step 3
Since smegma accumulates between the foreskin and the glans penis, a circumcised penis can be considered more hygienic. Smegma is an excellent environment for the development of infection. It can cause swelling in a woman's cervix. Some studies suggest that regular personal hygiene is sufficient.
Step 4
During the operation, the foreskin around the head of the male penis is excised. After that, an operating wound remains in the form of a scar with a width of no more than 1 mm. It is located at a distance of 3-5 mm from the coronary sulcus of the penis. Circumcision can be either complete or partial. In the latter case, most of the skin of the penis remains. Usually the foreskin is removed completely. After 3 months, the head of the penis loses its former sensitivity. Thanks to this effect, the duration of intercourse is further increased. However, not always. Rapid ejaculation in some cases is not directly related to the sensitivity of the penis.
Step 5
After the operation, you must follow the basic rules of personal hygiene. Rinse the postoperative area gently daily. Complete healing occurs 7-10 days after surgery. There may be some swelling of the glans penis. Subsequent scarring is possible. In case of prolonged redness, it is advisable to consult a doctor. A sudden rise in temperature should also alert you. This may be a sign of inflammatory processes beginning in the body. During the normal course of the adaptation period, there should be no blue discoloration of the penis or purulent discharge.
