Patient's question:
Feeling very uncomfortable in the private area, that feeling can't be described, it affects work and life very much, it's very troublesome. How can phimosis adhesion be diagnosed?Doctor's answer:
The foreskin refers to the double-layered skin of the penis that folds over the glans. In infancy, the foreskin is often longer, covering the glans and the external urethral orifice, which is known as physiological phimosis. As one grows older, the penis and foreskin gradually develop. During puberty, the foreskin retracts backward, exposing the glans by adulthood. Circumcision, a minor surgical procedure, is used to treat conditions such as excessive foreskin or phimosis. The procedure typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes and does not require hospitalization. The risk of complications is very low, but possible risks include the removal of too little foreskin, resulting in a tight ring, inability of the glans to protrude, or excessive foreskin removal leading to painful erections or penile curvature.
