Patient's question:
What is the difference between phimosis and paraphimosis? Do both require surgery? What are the serious consequences if surgery is not performed?Doctor's answer:
Hypospadias can expose the penis, while phimosis cannot. Both conditions can lead to conditions such as balanitis and penile cancer. Early implementation of circumcision is the primary method of treatment for this condition. It is recommended to choose a formal and reputable large hospital for the surgery. Hypospadias and phimosis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
