Patient's question:
I am 11 years old and have phimosis (redundant prepuce). During a flaccid erection, the foreskin completely covers the glans, but I can freely retract and return it with my hands without any strangulation. Will pseudo-phimosis (not true phimosis) affect the development of the penis? I want to clean it daily now and wait to see if it recedes after puberty. If it doesn't, can I still get circumcised?Doctor's answer:
In your current condition, you don't need surgery; just pay more attention to hygiene, and don't be too anxious. Pay more attention to hygiene, clean your genital area frequently, don't think about sex too often, and don't have too frequent sexual activity. Take good care of yourself and exercise more. Excessive foreskin can easily lead to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it's important to immediately go to a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Also, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
