Do men have to be circumcised?

Men do not necessarily need to be circumcised. When circumcising, they need to determine whether they have symptoms of foreskin. Under normal circumstances, circumcision is generally not needed. If the foreskin is too long, circumcision surgery is required.

Circumcision surgery involves cutting off part of the overly long foreskin. For patients with overlong foreskin, the glans penis cannot be exposed in its natural state, and there will be redness, swelling and purulent secretions on the foreskin, which can easily induce foreshitis. If the symptoms are severe, traditional circumcision, modified circumcision, instrument-assisted circumcision, etc. can be performed as directed by the doctor. The choice of circumcision surgery should be based on the severity of the foreskin. Most of the foreskin does not require surgery in childhood. If the foreskin is still long in adulthood, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. If there is phimosis, it is generally necessary to seek medical treatment in time.

Most men will have varying degrees of foreskin, including true and false foreskin, which may be caused by congenital foreskin adhesions on the glans penis or stenosis of the foreskin outer opening. The cause should be determined before treatment.
