When this happens, whenever it causes a lot of discomfort, pain and the inability to have satisfactory sexual intercourse (not to mention the associated medical problems of hygiene and infections) it is usually decided to have a phimosis operation, circumcision.
Despite these statements, which are valid for males of any age, it is normal for this type of intervention to be carried out during adolescence, which is when the symptoms tend to become more visible.
Reasons for phimosis, circumcision surgery
The most important and most common reason for circumcision is to avoid or solve medical problems, including phimosis:
- Phimosis: This is the most common reason for circumcision, as it causes a multitude of problems in sexual life and favours the appearance of infections in the area.
- Balanitis: This is the infection of the glans penis and occurs in most cases due to a lack of hygiene in the area. This is common in cases of severe phimosis that prevent proper cleaning of the area, and circumcision is one of the most advisable options to avoid it.
- Paraphimosis: This problem consists of the foreskin retracting under the glans penis and not being able to come back up, in some cases even strangling it. This is why, when this occurs, the best option is to carry out a circumcision operation to solve it.
- Circumcision for aesthetic reasons: Some patients consider that a circumcised penis improves aesthetically and it is often believed that sexual relations improve thanks to the loss of sensitivity.
