Patient's question:
I am 24 years old this year. I recently met a girlfriend, and lately, I feel there is a chance to have sexual relations with her again. However, now I have a question: I have phimosis. Can I have sex with a condom? Because I don't want to have a child with her for now, I hope a doctor can give me an answer.Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis can be managed with the use of condoms for sexual intercourse and breastfeeding. However, phimosis can affect your sexual function, so it is recommended to consider surgical treatment if necessary. Phimosis can also lead to inflammation of the reproductive organs, causing discomfort. It is important to maintain good hygiene, gently wash the external genital area with warm water, and expose underwear to sunlight for sterilization. Avoid getting cold. Maintain physical and mental well-being, keep personal hygiene clean, and prevent bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
