Circumcision of the foreskin (circumcision) was practiced in ancient Egypt, among the Jews, Arabs, some African tribes and Indians. It is a symbol of nationality. In addition, in hot climates, this solved the problems of genital hygiene.
Since the 50s, circumcision has been popularized in Europe and the USA, becoming a fashion for the he alth or aesthetics of the penis. Therefore, various types of circumcision have arisen. The need for circumcision (according to statistics) occurs in 18 out of 100 boys. In European countries, up to 60% of men undergo surgery, but not all of them are for medical reasons.
What is circumcision?
Circumcision (circumcision of the hood of the penis, according to current literature) is a common operation. Its purpose is to remove the prepuce (foreskin) in boys and men. The bottom line is the shortening of the skin covering of the penis; this is done in different ways (styles), and the results, including aesthetic ones, also vary. It depends on the amount of flesh to be removed and the area to be removed. From a medical point of view, all types of circumcision and the solution are unambiguous.
For reference: many representativesThe weaker sex considers the circumcised male genital organ to be more aesthetically pleasing. The types of circumcision for men are different, but in the end they all give a completely different visual appearance of the penis at rest and with an erection. Today, circumcision is more of a plastic surgery. Any surgeon can know and be able to excise the types of circumcision of the flesh, but to do it naturally, beautifully and imperceptibly - only plastic.
Operation methods
Some of the most popular methods of such an operation are practiced. Circumcision types depend on:
- Age of the patient.
- Operation goals.
- Her style and look. Surgeon experience.
- Equipment.
All types of circumcision of the foreskin have in common: reduction of the foreskin and separation of the synechia.
Various varieties
The structure of the penis and the size of the foreskin are unique for each man. Therefore, the same circumcision in two different men will never be equal. Most people who want to perform circumcision, after consulting with a specialist, choose the method and type of circumcision that is most suitable for them. The main purpose of excision is to change the skin area of the penis down.
Important! External differences in the type of circumcision of the foreskin in men depend only on the amount of removed flesh. Otherwise, there are no differences.
Description of male circumcision types
Minimal excision is not for everyone, as the penis after surgical manipulation looks almost the same as before. By honey. indications used for phimosis. DuringThe operation removes only a small part of the flesh of the penis, so this method will be useful for those who want to pay tribute to their folk tradition. A significant proportion of the flesh remains intact. After the end of the operation, the head is still covered by the skin, and the scar ring may re-form.
Differences between types of male circumcision appear after the procedure, but remain for life.
Partial excision (more rarely called full partial circumcision) is performed for medical reasons. The skin trim here is a little more than the minimum trim. A piece of tissue covering the head of the penis has been partially removed.
After surgery, the external opening of the urethra is open, the rest of the penis remains in the foreskin. The wound heals for a longer time, but it will be impossible not to notice the partial removal of the flesh. Partial cutting can also be performed with a laser beam.
Help! Judaism does not recognize partial and minimal circumcision, so a person in this case will not be considered an adherent of this faith.
Moderate (medium) prepuce removal is the classic type of circumcision that is most common. Moderate circumcision leaves the glans always open (even in cold water).
Sometimes a small fold of tissue at the coronal sulcus remains intact, but the diameter of the crown of the head of the penis is always larger than it. The advantage over a tight cut in an inconspicuous visualpenis reduction.
Total removal of flesh
During it, the head remains constantly open due to the shortening of the inner layer of the prepuce. This is successful in early ejaculation, and the absence of accumulation of smegma under the skin folds near the head is an excellent cancer prevention. Photos of male circumcision types demonstrate the features of the operation.
Free circumcision
Free or non-tight excision helps to get rid of most of the skin of the penis, and the rest of the skin covers the coronal sulcus of the penis. During it, the head is completely naked, but sometimes in a calm state, it is still slightly covered by the foreskin in the region of the coronal sulcus. Often this occurs with prolonged exposure to cold water.
Help! This is a good way to treat phimosis and paraphimosis, which is why this type of circumcision is often prescribed for medical reasons.
Tight circumcision
A radical method that is rarely performed. In this case, a complete removal of part of the skin is performed. Performed directly at the request of a person or according to a medical prescription. The fold of skin on the penis with this type of circumcision is not preserved at all. Visually, the penis looks reduced, and its skin is thinned and tightly stretched during erection, which can give discomfort. Many partners are attracted to such a penis, but it is worth noting that the naked head of the penis can be injured.
What is the most popular
Views are complemented depending on the location of the levelcircular seam resulting from the excision of the hood, and male circumcision styles: high and low.
The location depends on the ratio of the removed outer and inner layers of the foreskin. High style guarantees the safety of the inner layer of the hood, while the seam is located from the root of the penis at a distance of 2 cm or more. In contrast to the low circumcision, the inner layer of the skin of the foreskin remains almost completely intact.
With different types of penis circumcision, the location of the circular suture is possible at any distance from the coronal sulcus.
Main operation steps include:
- pain relief;
- circular excision of the flesh along the markup so that the removal is symmetrical;
- imposition of absorbable sutures between the sheets of prepuce.
Moderate style - when the seam is located at a distance of 1-1.5 cm from the head of the penis. With a low style, it is located directly near the coronal sulcus, and the inner layer of the foreskin is excised almost completely during the operation. The outer sheet of the skin of the foreskin is removed almost completely, and the circular suture and the inner sheet are obtained located directly at the coronal sulcus.
Sufficiently unusual method of changing the "appearance" of a member is low tight circumcision. There is also an ultra-low excision, when the circular suture is close to the coronal sulcus.
The most entertaining combinations
Plastic surgery in terms of giving sex appeal to the penis has achieved considerable success. Created original combinations of cutting methods: low tight cutting.
The technique is characterized by excision of the hood along with the cutting of its outer skin folds. Only a small piece of prepuce is left, and the remaining skin is strongly stretched.
As a result, during periods of relaxation, the penis is visually very miniature. With high tight removal, the seam remains in the middle of the penis shaft.
High tight circumcision is very popular with blacks. According to the Japanese technique, the prepuce is not removed, but rises up, takes the place of the skin folds excised from the trunk. The seam is obtained at the base of the penis. This gives uniform skin coloration along the entire length of the penis.
Rosette Circumcision
This removal allows not only to eliminate the prepuce, but also to significantly increase the size of the penis in the section, thickening it. During excision, a roller is formed from the prepuce in the region of the base of the head. During intercourse, such a penis works like a piston, stimulating all receptors and delivering special pleasure to the partner. This is especially recommended for men with a small penis.
Despite the apparent ease of the procedure, it should be approached responsibly, trust only the surgeon. Choosing the right type of excision will allow a man to feel sexy and surprise his partner.
Pros and cons of removal
