Patient's question:

According to your description and the symptoms of your preputial adhesion, it is considered that you may have phimosis. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital's urology department for an examination regarding phimosis. Alternatively, you can send me a photo to take a look. If phimectomy is feasible, it generally does not require hospitalization. At the same time, you need to pay attention to postoperative infection and care during this season. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol. The foreskin can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid irritating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
