Patient's question:
Doctor, my child is 11 years old, I noticed his phimosis is too long. But I don't know what the harm is? Do I need to have surgery? Will it cause any interference in the future? Doctor, what are the harms of phimosis being too long?Doctor's answer:
Excessive foreskin can pose certain health risks. Excessive foreskin can first easily lead to inflammation of the foreskin and glans, making it more likely for women to contract gynecological diseases during sexual activity. Additionally, it can interfere with the growth and development of male reproductive organs. Therefore, if conditions permit, circumcision can be considered. Circumcision is a minor surgery, and recovery is usually complete within about two weeks post-surgery. For patients, if the condition of andrological diseases is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of andrological diseases. Moreover, patients should also pay attention to their diet and psychological care. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
