Based on 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 phimurectomy is feasible, it is generally not necessary to stay in the hospital for treatment. 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 prepuce can be stabilized, but the treatment process is usually 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.
