Normal penis foreskin

Normal penis foreskin

The structure of the male penis is very simple, consisting of two corpora cavernosa and one corpus spongiosum, plus the basal fascia and skin. The top of the male penis is called the glans, and the skin covering the glans is called the foreskin. Some boys have very long foreskins that cover the glans and prevent it from being exposed. After adulthood, they need to undergo circumcision surgery to allow the glans to be exposed, but some boys do not need to do this. So, what is the normal length of male foreskin?

Normally, when a penis is flaccid, more than 1/2 of the glans is exposed.

Also regarding the foreskin being too long: After the penis is erect, can the foreskin be easily turned up (the foreskin retracts automatically or with the help of hands) to completely expose the glans? If possible, surgery is not necessary. However, you must pay attention to hygiene and wash your genitals with warm water every night (including the glans). If you cannot pull back the foreskin after erection (even with the help of your hands), it is phimosis or the foreskin is too long and the foreskin opening is narrow, and surgery is required.

If you can easily expose the glans, you can usually pull up the foreskin to keep the glans exposed outside, which is better:

1. Because the glans penis is free of the restraint of the foreskin, it will become larger and more perfect, and the coronal sulcus will become thicker, so that the foreskin will not be easy to turn back after a long time;

2. No more trouble with smegma;

3. It can reduce the sensitivity of the glans penis (if it is too sensitive, it will lead to premature ejaculation during sex). However, at the beginning, the glans will feel uncomfortable when it touches the underwear. That's because the glans has been hidden in the foreskin and is very delicate. Now that it suddenly comes out, it must be very sensitive. It is recommended not to expose it during the day, but to expose the glans outside after washing before going to bed every night (if conditions permit, sleep naked). Wait until you are used to it and it doesn't hurt anymore, then you can expose it again. Also, choose underwear with a close-fitting, three-dimensional cut, and soft and non-irritating material.

But no matter what, you must pay attention to hygiene and wash your genitals (including the glans and other parts, comprehensively) with warm water every night. As for how to clean it, just lift up the foreskin to expose the glans, then soak it in warm water and clean it.
