Patient's question:
Just got divorced a few days ago, but our sex life has never been very harmonious. Every time I endure it, it doesn't last very long. The doctor said it's due to excessive foreskin and suggested surgery. Do I have to have the surgery?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis and excessive prepuce can easily cause smegma to accumulate under the skin. Smegma is milky white and has a foul odor, composed of sebum secretions and epidermal shedding. Smegma not only triggers inflammation of the penis and prepuce but, more seriously, it can potentially transmit infections to the penis, thereby affecting the motility of sperm in semen and the viscosity of seminal fluid, ultimately leading to male infertility. At the same time, excessive prepuce can also cause premature ejaculation and kidney damage, and may even lead to anejaculation. For the sake of marital harmony, you should still consider getting a circumcision. The surgery is minor and can be completed quickly.Doctor's inquiry: The daily treatment for male urological conditions primarily involves symptomatic medication. Patients can take various oral medications, supplemented by a combination of vitamins, while also paying attention to self-care, maintaining a proper diet, and avoiding cold foods.
