Patient's question:
About phimosis, in the recent few days, I noticed some tearing pain in the foreskin. After searching online, it seems to be phimosis, and it's recommended to undergo a circumcision. However, I've just graduated from university, and I won't be able to go home until late May. Is there any medication I can apply to treat it temporarily? I plan to get the circumcision done after I come back. Also, can I still have the surgery at 21? What should I do about the tearing pain from phimosis?Doctor's answer:
Integrate the described situation. Circumcision surgery does not interfere with normal living training. If it is phimosis, it is recommended to perform circumcision surgery as soon as possible for treatment. The surgery is done and gone. It does not interfere with normal living. It usually takes about 2-4 weeks to fully recover and heal for phimosis patients. Timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If it is not treated in time, it will affect health. Therefore, patients need to receive timely medication treatment and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life. Avoid sitting for too long.
