Phimosis surgery shortened the length by 2 cm

Circumcision surgery is to remove the excessive foreskin, that is, make a straight incision on the back of the male genitals, and then cut a circle of unnecessary foreskin horizontally. Long foreskin can cause premature ejaculation. If the long foreskin is not treated in time, it will often affect the happiness of the couple's married life, because too long foreskin will encapsulate the male glans. So, why did the phimosis surgery make the patient 2 centimeters shorter?

Why is it 2cm shorter after phimosis surgery?

Long foreskin means that when the male genitals are loose, the foreskin is too long to cover the entire glans penis. If the foreskin is too long, it not only covers the entire glans penis, but also has a narrow mouth, and the foreskin is too long and cannot be turned out. This situation is medically called excessive foreskin.

The foreskin is too long to cover the urethral opening, but can be turned up to expose the urethral opening and glans penis. In boys, the slight adhesion between the glans penis and the foreskin usually subsides spontaneously after the age of 3, and the penis can be turned upward. However, in childhood, the overturned foreskin often covers the urethral opening. During puberty, the glans of the penis is slowly exposed. In adults, when the male genitals are soft, the foreskin is too long and does not cover the urethral opening. The foreskin can be turned up to expose the coronal sulcus, which is the normal length of the foreskin. A long foreskin can cause urine dirt to accumulate in the foreskin, causing balanitis. Repeated inflammation can make the mouth of the foreskin smaller and adhere to the glans of the penis to form a foreskin. Penile cancer may be related to long-term irritation from urine deposits.

The foreskin opening is narrow or the foreskin is too long and adheres to the glans of the penis. The foreskin that covers the male genitals is too long and cannot be turned over to expose the urethral opening and glans penis. When the foreskin is more severe, the opening of the foreskin may be very narrow, and sometimes it is also accompanied by a narrow urethral opening, which affects urination.

Therefore, people with excessive foreskin and long foreskin should undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible. It is worth mentioning that although a long foreskin has little impact on physical and mental health, sometimes it can cause incarcerated phimosis because the foreskin is too long and the mouth is narrow, that is, the foreskin is tight outside the coronal groove of the penis and cannot be pushed down. At this time, the technique should be reset as soon as possible. If the technique cannot be reset, a doctor should be asked to cut open the tight foreskin and perform circumcision again.
