Patient's question:
After inserting the catheter, the family member was supposed to retract the patient's foreskin, but after trying for a long time, it couldn't be retracted, and there was no swelling. I want to know what the impact might be?Doctor's answer:
The foreskin is too long and cannot be retracted. It is better to retract it. If left for a long time, it may get stuck. You can apply petroleum jelly or mild soap. For individuals with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek appropriate treatment promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life. Pay attention to personal hygiene and develop good living habits.
