He had phimosis for 60 years and had "inflammation down below" before he was willing to undergo surgery! Doctors reveal 3 types of people are more in need of circumcision: to solve the problem of premature ejaculation
Too busy to have time for circumcision! A 60-year-old man suffers from periposthitis
If a man is troubled by foreskin, even in his sixties, is there still a chance to solve the problem of phimosis? Dr. Lin Mengyan from the Department of Urology at the Cheng Ching Hospital Chung Kang Branch said that recently there was a 62-year-old patient who suffered from phimosis due to an excessive foreskin. When he was young, he was too shy to have surgery and did not seek medical treatment. After he turned 60, he had a heart problem and was fitted with a pacemaker. He was afraid that circumcision would cause electrocautery to stop bleeding and affect the normal operation of the pacemaker.
Dr. Lin Mengyan said that because the patient was busy with farming, he had been suffering from an elongated foreskin for more than 60 years. He thought that as long as the foreskin was retracted and cleaned, it would be enough. Later, it was discovered that not only was the foreskin difficult to recede to its final stage, but it was even caused by balanoposthitis. However, the patient still insisted on not being circumcised, believing that the symptoms would get better after taking medicine. As time goes by, the problem of foreskin gradually changes from “a hard thing” to a “trouble”.
Small wound, fast recovery. Advantages of medical unmasking surgery
Dr. Lin Mengyan said that circumcision is not a complicated and dangerous operation, but the patient must be particularly careful if he undergoes traditional surgical removal. “When removing the overly long foreskin in traditional surgery, you need to use electric cautery to stop the bleeding and then use manual stitches to sew. The problem is that when the electric cautery is used to stop the bleeding, it may interfere with the cardiac pacemaker and damage the function of the cardiac pacemaker. It’s dangerous for patients.”
After comprehensive evaluation, the 62-year-old patient was finally willing to undergo circumcision gun surgery. Dr. Lin Mengyan pointed out that the circumcision gun surgery adopts a one-piece method. While removing the excess foreskin, it also automatically nails the wound with small nails to stop the bleeding. There is no traditional electric cautery to stop bleeding during the surgery. When the wound heals, small nails will be used to stop the bleeding. The nails will fall off automatically about 3 weeks after the surgery.
“The advantages of circumcision gun surgery are that the foreskin incision is flatter than surgery, with less postoperative pain and faster recovery, which greatly improves the aesthetics. Traditional surgery requires stitches to suture the wound, which takes a long time and It is easy to feel pain after surgery. This kind of surgery may be one of the reasons why some patients with excessive foreskin do not want to undergo the removal of excessive foreskin. "
Is the problem of premature ejaculation caused by having a long foreskin? 3 major groups can consider circumcision surgery
Dr. Lin Mengyan said that because the circumcision gun is designed in various sizes, even young children can use it. In fact, there are many children in the clinic who have severe phimosis and are often inflamed and infected. When they urinate, they will blow up like a balloon, causing the entire front end of the foreskin to swell, eventually causing urine to spurt out, causing a lot of inconvenience to the patients. After foreskin gun surgery, the problem of excessive foreskin in both the elderly and children can be completely improved.
As for what situations require circumcision surgery? Dr. Lin Mengyan suggests that if men encounter the following three situations, they can seriously consider the feasibility of circumcision gun surgery after full discussion with medical staff:
Phimosis: refers to the foreskin being too tight to expose the glans.
Excessive foreskin combined with inflammation: Inflammation of the foreskin causes urinary tract infection.
Excessive foreskin combined with premature ejaculation: The problem of premature ejaculation may be improved by removing the excessively long foreskin to expose the glans and reducing sensitivity by frequent exposure to the outside world.
