Circumcision is a simple, short and painless minor surgery for men. Circumcision is indicated when a man has a narrow, obstructed, or elongated foreskin and has little effect on penis size.

1. What is circumcision?

Men should be circumcised only when the foreskin is long, narrow, or blocked. When the child is 6 years old, the foreskin can slide up and down. However, in the case of foreskin narrowing, blockage or long foreskin, performing this operation will face many difficulties.
The foreskin has many important functions:
It is a part containing many sensitive nerves capable of increasing male pleasure. The effect makes men erection, easy orgasm, climax and sexual satisfaction. Capable of protecting the penis. This cover will help protect the glans penis from external influences. Contains many good bacteria that work as bacteria in the nose, mouth and genitals to help protect the body from invasion from harmful bacteria. Contains many Langerhans cells that have the ability to prevent infection and protect a healthy penis. Capable of secreting an oily solution to help maintain moisture in the foreskin conjunctiva. Taking on so many important functions, circumcision should be carefully considered. The procedure is quite simple and causes few complications. Therefore, men with foreskin problems such as long/narrow/obstructed, having difficulty urinating, premature ejaculation should be examined and considered for circumcision to avoid long-term effects.

2. How does circumcision affect the size of the penis?

Currently, there is no effective and safe method to increase penis size. Circumcision does not increase the size of the penis. Only cases of narrowing of the foreskin, which can cause infection of the penis, increase the risk of cancer and make sex difficult, should have this procedure.
Grow strong without worrying too much about reducing pleasure and vitality just because of the small size of the penis. Because it is not an important factor determining the quality of sexual activity and has no effect on male quality or reproductive function.
But there are also some theories that, in addition to reducing the risk of infection, cancer, circumcision also works to increase the size of the penis. This is explained as follows:
When the foreskin is long, the body has to lose an extra amount of blood and nutrients to feed this excess skin. So, the removal will help nutrients and blood be supplied more effectively for the growth of the penis. When the foreskin is narrowed, the penis cannot grow to its normal size. Therefore, the detection and removal of the foreskin before puberty is very important for the normal development of the penis. To contribute to penis enlargement, men should combine with physiological exercises, massage to promote blood circulation for the "little boy", supplement with foods rich in testosterone.
