Patient's question:
I found that every time I get an erection, my glans cannot be exposed. Is this condition considered phimosis? I've heard that excessive foreskin can be quite harmful. Could you please ask: How is phimosis adhesion treated to alleviate it?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis, most boys have phimosis before they grow up, a small part of them have paraphimosis. When urinating, the foreskin will swell like a balloon, after urinating, there is often some urine left in the foreskin cavity, and the accumulated lipids and epithelial scales will gradually form a block of smegma, which is a good culture medium for bacteria. Long-term chronic stimulation can cause the foreskin to become inflamed and form balanoposthitis, and repeated recurrence can lead to adhesion of the foreskin cavity. Due to the presence of smegma, urine is often spiral-shaped, slowly and finely like hair, and with age, it often causes difficulty in urination. It is recommended to go to a formal urology hospital for foreskin surgery treatment in time.
