Patient's question:
My husband has recently been experiencing discomfort in his lower body and was diagnosed with a condition after a hospital examination. Seeing him often in pain makes me very worried. Could you please ask the doctor what are the common effective treatments for patients with excessive foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, treatment for the foreskin can be performed through surgery. As for the timing of the surgery, it is best to have it done during the spring and autumn seasons to avoid re-infection. Additionally, post-surgery, medication is used to prevent infection. Besides, it is advisable to perform the foreskin surgery after reaching full growth maturity, which is approximately around the age of 17. Patients with excessive foreskin should ideally undergo circumcision treatment at an early stage. For non-inflammatory cases of excessive foreskin, as long as the foreskin is regularly retracted and cleaned, surgery may not be necessary. The condition of excessive foreskin tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication.
