Patient's question:
My husband has recently been experiencing discomfort in his lower body. After being examined at the hospital, he was diagnosed with an illness. Seeing him often in pain makes me very worried. Could you please ask the doctor, how is the treatment usually carried out when phimosis occurs?Doctor's answer:
Circumcision or phimosis should be treated in the urology department or pediatric plastic surgery department. First, it is necessary to determine whether it is truly phimosis. If the glans can be fully exposed after erection, treatment is generally not required. Your condition is relatively suitable for undergoing a circumcision procedure. Circumcision is a minor surgery and carries no risk. After the surgery, follow the doctor's advice to take anti-inflammatory medication. The foreskin can heal, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
