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, and I also feel a bit embarrassed. However, recently I feel that my private area is just not clean no matter how I wash it. I'm very afraid of getting sick, so I want to get it treated. Please ask: How should patients with foreskin adhesion be cared for?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is caused by insufficient retraction of the foreskin, leading to adhesion between the foreskin and the glans. If the adhesion is mild, it can be treated in an outpatient setting with foreskin separation and retraction. If the adhesion is severe, surgery under anesthesia is required for correction. It is recommended to consult with a urologist in an outpatient clinic. Local hospitals can provide this service. Phimosis can be resolved, but the treatment process is usually lengthy, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications appropriately during treatment. Additionally, it is advised to maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet during the treatment period. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
