Sensitivity issues caused by long foreskin and redundant prepuce can generally be addressed through the following approaches: 1. Circumcision: A surgical procedure to remove the excess foreskin, exposing the glans penis and thereby reducing its sensitivity. 2. Dorsal penile nerve block surgery: Suitable for patients with neurogenic erectile dysfunction. This procedure involves making a circular incision in the foreskin at the coronal sulcus, dissecting the skin free from the surface of the tunica albuginea, retracting the foreskin, identifying the dorsal nerves of the penis, and then blocking these nerves to reduce glans sensitivity. 3. Daily hygiene care: Clean the area daily by retracting the foreskin and thoroughly removing smegma to maintain cleanliness within the preputial cavity and prevent balanoposthitis. In cases of heightened sensitivity due to long foreskin, using condoms during sexual intercourse may help reduce sexual stimulation and alleviate glans hypersensitivity.
