How is phimosis treated?

Patient's question:

My foreskin has been stuck for a long time, but because it's a sensitive area, I'm a bit hesitant to go to the hospital. Also, I feel a bit embarrassed about it. However, recently I've noticed that I can't seem to clean my private area properly, and I'm very afraid of getting sick. So, I'd like to get it treated. Could you please tell me how to treat foreskin adhesion?

Doctor's answer:

Don't worry if it's balanitis; then use some medication to actively treat it. Don't be concerned—diet should be light, and some sensitive medications or antibiotics can be used. If necessary, check to see if it's bacterial or fungal. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Besides using erythromycin or similar medications to apply and see the effect, for patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence. If not treated promptly, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication according to symptoms and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
