Circumcision of the foreskin (circumcision) was practiced in ancient Egypt, among Jews, Arabs, some African tribes and Indians. This is a symbol of nationality. In addition, in hot climates, this addressed genital hygiene.
Since the 50s, circumcision has become popular in Europe and the USA, becoming a fashion for the health or aesthetics of a member. Therefore, various types of circumcision have arisen. The need for circumcision (according to statistics) arises in 18 out of 100 boys. In European countries, up to 60% of men perform surgery, but not all of them are only for medical reasons.
What is circumcision?
Circumcision (circumcision of the hood of the penis, according to modern literature) is a common operation. Its purpose is the removal of prepuce (foreskin) in boys and men. The bottom line is shortening the skin covering of the penis; this is carried out in different ways (styles), and the results, including aesthetic ones, also differ. It depends on the amount of flesh removed and the area of removal. From a medical point of view, all types of circumcision and solutions are unambiguous.
For reference: many women consider the circumcised male genital organ more aesthetically pleasing. Types of male circumcision are different, but in the end they all give a completely different visual appearance of the penis at rest and during erection. Today circumcision is more a plastic surgery. Any surgeon can know and be able to excise types of circumcision, but to do this naturally, beautifully and imperceptibly - only plastic.
Operation Methods
Practiced several of the most popular methods of such an operation. Types of circumcision depend on:
- The age of the patient.
- The objectives of the operation.
- Her style and appearance. Surgeon Experience.
- Equipment.
All types of circumcision of the foreskin have one thing in common: reduction of the foreskin and separation of the synechiae.
Different 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 of those who want to circulate after consulting with a specialist choose the method and type of circumcision that is most suitable for them. The main purpose of excision is a change in the smaller side of the skin area of the penis.
Important! External differences in the type of circumcision in men depend only on the amount of flesh removed. Otherwise, there are no differences.
Description of male circumcision
Minimal excision is not suitable for everyone, since the member after surgical procedures looks almost the same as before. By honey indications used in phimosis. During the operation, only a small part of the flesh of the penis is excised, 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 operation is completed, the head is still covered by the skin; a scar ring can be re-formed.
Differences between types of circumcision in men appear after the procedure, but remain for life.
Partial excision (a more rare name - full partial circumcision) is performed for medical reasons. Skin trimming is slightly larger than with minimal trimming. A piece of tissue covering the head of the penis is partially removed.
After surgery, the external opening of the urethra is open, the rest of the penis remains in the foreskin. The wound heals longer, however, it will be impossible not to notice a partial removal of the flesh. Partial cutting can also be performed with a laser beam.
Reference! Judaism does not recognize partial and minimal circumcision, therefore, a person in this case will not be considered an adherent of this faith.
Moderate (medium) removal of prepuce is the classic type of circumcision that is most common. Moderate circumcision leaves the glans penis always open (even in cold water).
Sometimes a small fold of tissue near the coronal sulcus remains intact, however, the diameter of the crown of the head of the penis always turns out to be larger than it. The advantage over tight circumcision in the imperceptible visual reduction of the penis.
Complete removal of the flesh
During it, the head remains constantly open due to the shortening of the inner layer of prepuce. This is successful with early ejaculation, and the lack of accumulation of smegma under the folds of skin near the head is an excellent cancer prevention. Photos of types of circumcision in men demonstrate the features of the operation.
Free circumcision
Free or thin excision helps to get rid of most of the skin of the penis, and the remainder of the skin covers the coronary groove of the penis. During it, the head is completely naked, but sometimes in a calm state it is still slightly closed with the foreskin in the area of the coronal groove. Often this occurs with prolonged exposure to cold water.
Reference! This is a good way to treat phimosis and paraphimosis, as a result of which this type of circumcision is often prescribed for medical reasons.
Tight cut
A radical method that is extremely rare. This completely removes part of the skin. It is carried out directly at the request of a person or according to a medical prescription. The skin fold on the penis with this type of circumcision is not saved at all. Visually, the penis looks reduced, and its skin is thinned and tightly stretched during an erection, which can give unpleasant sensations. Such a penis attracts many partners, but it is worth noting that the naked head of the penis can be injured.
What is the most popular
Types are supplemented depending on the location of the level of the circular seam that occurs when the hood is excised, and male circumcision styles: high and low.
The location depends on the ratio of the removed outer and inner sheets 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. Unlike low circumcision, the inner sheet of the skin of the foreskin remains almost completely intact.
With different types of circumcision of the penis, the location of the circular suture is possible at any distance from the coronal groove.
The main stages of the operation include:
- anesthesia;
- circular excision of the flesh along the markings so that the removal is symmetrical;
- the application of absorbable sutures between the leaves 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 groove, and the inner layer of the foreskin is excised during the operation almost completely. Almost the entire outer leaf of the skin of the foreskin is removed, and the circular suture and the inner leaf are obtained located directly at the coronal groove.
A rather extraordinary method of changing the "appearance" of a member is low tight circumcision. There is also an ultra-low excision when the circular suture with the coronal groove is close.
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 cutting off its external folds of skin. Only a small piece of prepuce is left, and the remaining skin is tight.
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 shaft of the penis.
High tight circumcision is very popular with the Negroid race. According to the Japanese method, the prepuce is not removed, but rises up, replacing the skin folds excised from the trunk. A seam is obtained at the base of the penis. This gives uniform coloring of the skin along the entire length of the penis.
Cutting as a rosette
Such removal allows not only eliminating prepuce, but also significantly increasing the size of the penis in the section, thickening it. During excision, a prepuce roll is formed in the region of the base of the head. With coition, such a penis works like a plunger, stimulating all receptors and delivering special pleasure to a partner. This is especially recommended for men with a small penis in diameter.
Despite the apparent ease of the procedure, it should be approached responsibly, trusted only by the surgeon. The correct choice of the type of excision will allow the man to feel sexy and surprise the partner.
Pros and Cons of Removing
Studies have shown the benefits of circumcision: reducing the risk of urogenital infections and STIs in contact with a sick partner.
Smegma is characterized by a carcinogenic effect. In men, after circumcision, oncology of the penis is observed much less frequently. The partner is less likely to get HPV and get cervical cancer. This facilitates the care of the genitals. The procedure reduces the risk of contracting AIDS.
The World Health Organization has recognized circumcision as AIDS prevention. After surgery, the sensitivity of the head of the penis decreases and the duration of the act increases. Also, with early ejaculation syndrome, circumcision provides clear benefits.
A spoon of tar:
- surgical complications (bleeding, scarring, infection, etc.) are possible;
- in case of unsuccessful operation - violation of sexual function.
Honey. indications:
- sclerosing lichen;
- inflammation and chronic injuries of the penis;
- premature ejaculation.
Contraindications are common to all operations. Cannot be circumcised:

Preparation for surgery
Any kind of circumcision in men is performed by a urologist. Before surgery, it is necessary to take tests: for men older than 50 years - to do an ECG, 2 weeks before the operation, do not take anticoagulants and alcohol, do not smoke.
Before surgery, you can not drink and eat for 4 hours. The time of the operation is 30-40 minutes. The operation is done with local anesthesia at the base of the penis.
The first 2-3 days require bed rest. Swelling after surgery is the norm, relieved by cold compresses for 3-5 minutes. Sutures are removed on the 7-10th day. It is necessary to exclude physical activity, refuse sex for 1-1.5 months.
A novelty in surgery is laser flesh removal. For some time circumcision has become the prerogative of the laser. At the same time, the risk of complications is significantly reduced, the rehabilitation period is reduced. The operation is performed with anesthesia. A laser beam along the intended lines is used to conduct both an incision and vascular coagulation at the same time. The whole process takes 20-30 minutes.
