Here is a list of the five most common benefits of surgical removal of the sheath. 1) Hygiene. Surgical removal of the sheath makes maintaining good genital hygiene a much easier task. It also reduces the instance of smegma, the build-up of oil, bacteria, and dead skin under the prepuce which can cause a funky smell, infection, and an unpleasant surprise for an intimate partner. 2) Prevents Infection.

  7. Cons of Surgical removal of the sheath Of course, with the good, also comes the bad. Here is a list of the five most common cons of a surgical removal of the sheath that men should consider prior to electing to have the surgery. 1) Pain. The older a male is, the more painful a surgical removal of the sheath tends to be. However, pain medication and cool compresses can be used to manage pain and swelling. 2) Down Time. All surgeries require downtown and surgical removal of the sheath is no different. Expect to take some time away from work, a few weeks away from intimate contact, and wear very loose sweatpants and shorts during the healing process. www.man1health.com

  8. 3) Complications. While a small surgery, surgical removal of the sheath can still carry risks such as cutting the prepuce too long or too short, infection, bleeding, and slow healing. 4) Hyper Sensitivity. For men who’ve grown up with prepuce, intimate contact may feel very different now that the male organ is no longer covered until playtime. A man who gets a surgical removal of the sheath will need to relearn his personal sensitivity ranges during self-pleasure and partner pleasure. 5) Few Health Benefits. There aren’t a terrible number of verifiable benefits to getting a surgical removal of the sheath. It can prevent some infections and decrease risk in some areas, but the health benefit isn’t overwhelmingly positive. www.man1health.com

  9. Male organ health Regardless of whether a man decides to go under the knife or not, he should always practice thorough, regular male organ cleaning and care. Men should wash with a gentle cleanser and be sure to stay away from products with rough abrasives and harsh additives. After washing, a specially designed male organ health crème(health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) should be used to keep the male organ soft, smooth, and inviting. Look for a crème packed with vitamins A, C, D, and E, which are well-known for their skin-soothing and healing properties. Also, choose a crème that has a natural base like Shea butter which will lock in moisture, keeping it from dryness or irritation. www.man1health.com
