What are the hazards of phimosis?

Patient's question:

My foreskin seems a bit long. When it's soft, the skin is stretched out a lot, and when it's erect, the head can't be exposed. Also, when I take a shower, I feel that the area of the glans has a strong smell. I'm worried that if this continues for a long time, I might get glans inflammation. Please ask: What are the dangers of foreskin adhesion?

Doctor's answer:

Your condition may be due to phimosis leading to phimatocele. If there is a buildup of smegma, it can cause inflammation and further lead to. Some people not only have phimosis but also have a very small opening, making it difficult to retract. I suggest you go to the hospital for a clear diagnosis and solve the problem accordingly! I do not recommend self-medication! For adult males, incomplete removal of smegma or recurrent inflammation can cause the glans to adhere to the foreskin, which can restrict penile erection and cause pain during sexual activity, potentially leading to psychogenic sexual dysfunction. The condition of the foreskin is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication.
