Patient's question:
I found that every time I get an erection, my glans cannot be exposed. Is this condition considered phimosis? I've heard that phimosis can be quite harmful. Could you please ask: What are the treatments for phimosis at the initial stage?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis adhesion can first be treated with non-surgical methods such as warm water washing and soaking. If these methods do not resolve the issue, surgery should be considered. The older the patient, the better their tolerance for surgery; however, the adhesion may also improve. Therefore, for an 8-year-old child, if diagnosed, early surgery is recommended. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
