In this season of passion and vitality, finally... Xiaoming and his girlfriend met openly for the first time.
I thought that this would be an unforgettable "great harmony of life", but I did not think about it but was disliked by my girlfriend:
After so many years of wind and waves, is it possible that with a girlfriend, the "second brother" is not normal?
This can make Xiaoming difficult -
The "second half-price" was originally a child's patent, and he had already "lost on the starting line", is the remedy still useful?
After all, "children only cut their foreskins, and adults endure it."
Some men, with the ability to love others, have less courage to cut their foreskins.
Today, let's talk seriously about the problem of men cutting their foreskins (serious faces).
Without further ado, let's take a look at a small video
Excessive foreskin and phimosis are common conditions in the development of the "second brother".
Under normal circumstances, after a man enters puberty, the "second brother" is like wearing a round-neck sweater, and the head can be completely exposed [1].

But if you find that it is put on a "turtleneck sweater", you should pay attention.
The difference between a "turtleneck sweater" and a "crewneck sweater" will take you through intuitively.
1, the foreskin is too long - can be turned over the "turtleneck sweater":
In this case, the head of the "second brother" cannot be exposed in the natural state, and can be exposed after manual downturning.
2, phimosis - a tight version of the "turtleneck sweater":
Due to the narrow outer opening of the foreskin, the head of the "second brother" was tightly bound by the foreskin and could not be exposed downwards.
The foreskin is too long and phimosis, and the biggest headache is the cleaning problem.
You think, if you always "don't take off your clothes" to take a bath, all kinds of secretions in the foreskin will be difficult to clean.
Over time, the skin scale accumulates, and the "second brother" is easy to be found by diseases such as balanitis, foreskinitis, and leukoplakia, and even induces "second brother" cancer.
For cases where the foreskin is too long, as long as you pay attention to cleaning, there is no problem in not cutting.
But if you don't pay attention to hygiene, there is a strange smell, it is no wonder that the girlfriend is disgusted.
The uncleanness of the "second brother" not only affects his own health, but may also cause cervicitis and vaginitis to the other half [1].

However, several other scenarios are not so simple.
Even if you didn't cut it when you were a child, you won't be able to escape this knife when you grow up!
Age is not an absolute factor affecting foreskin surgery, the state of the "second brother" is.
If the "second brother" has the following circumstances, he will consider cutting it off for eternity:
1. Phimosis: A disease that is medically a child of the Eight Classics.
2. Narrow foreskin: The glans of the foreskin sticks together and cannot be turned over.
3. Foreskin incarceration: After the turtleneck sweater of the "second brother" is turned over and "protrudes the head", the "second brother" head is stuck in the foreskin and cannot be returned, this situation needs to be dealt with in time, otherwise it is easy to cause edema or even necrosis.
4. Recurrent foreskinitis, balanitis.
5. Thickening of the foreskin, even affecting sexual life.
For urology or andrology, circumcision is only a small operation, and the cut foreskin may be able to circle the earth twice, a knife down, the "second brother" sees the light of day again, and it is easier for himself.
At present, the common types of surgery are divided into two categories: traditional open surgery and instrument circumcision.
Traditional open surgery:
The "second brother" to be slaughtered will generally undergo local anesthesia, and then use a knife or scissors to cut a direct opening in the back of the "second brother", and then cut off a circle of excess foreskin laterally.
(Traditional surgery is probably like this "peeling", source: network)
After the procedure is completed, subcutaneous electrocoagulation is performed and sutured using an absorbable thread.
Instrumental circumcision:
The use of special instruments for surgery, short time, higher efficiency, "second brother" after surgery is also more beautiful.
(Instrumental surgery is similar to "automatic bottle opener", source: network)
However, there are also some deficiencies and complications of the device. Which way to choose depends on the specific situation of the patient.
Postoperative pain is a problem, mainly pain and tearing of the wound caused by a nocturnal erection, and may even have to be resized. In this case, nocturnal erections can be controlled with medication.
If you want to bounce around the next day, it's impossible!
2 days of rest after surgery is indispensable, avoid large activities, reduce walking, and the happy exercise of the "second brother" is still waiting until a month later.
Those unscrupulous clinics, I wish that tintin on the earth are lined up to wait for them to cut and make a lot of money!
Whether circumcision prolongs ejaculation is controversial in current research – some say yes, while others say no. Some big data analysis that synthesizes multiple studies also has a less consistent view [2-3].
If you think about it, or decide to let the "second brother" out, it doesn't hurt to try it.
But be sure to go to the andrology department of the regular hospital to see, don't believe those "second half-price" advertisements!
Regardless of the "second brother" whose foreskin is too long, whether it affects the quality of life, we must be careful to care for and maintain, and the method is very simple, that is, washing is healthier.
How?
Come and go, please pull out your little book and remember this "second brother" health song together:
The "second brother" is healthy and cleaned
Sequential steps, important
Turn the foreskin up first
No shower gel and soap
Warm water flushed, just right
Foreskin dirt, all washed off
With a towel, wipe dry
The last step is indispensable
The foreskin is turned back, don't forget
It is not that it is necessary not to use detergents, but the skin of the "second brother" is delicate and sensitive, and the cleaning agents such as shower gel and soap have certain chemicals that may cause allergic reactions.
Wipe the towel as much as possible to use alone, the bath towel is no problem, but do not mix with the towel that wipes the face or feet! (It's really the old father's heart for the rough guys...) ）
Of course, if the "second brother" has other diseases, how to clean and treat, you have to consult a professional doctor.
