Patient's question:
The circumcision surgery has been over seven months. The prenatal care doctors have all said that the wound is normal and it will recover after the summer. Currently, I feel there is pressure where the remaining foreskin covers the corona, the pubic hair often gets tangled in the corona, and the glans remains swollen and uncomfortable when sitting. The discomfort from friction between the glans and underwear while cycling or walking is very noticeable. How long will this discomfort last? Some people online have published that after twenty years of circumcision, a series of negative effects reappear. I wonder how successful this surgery has been?Doctor's answer:
Based on your symptoms, it seems that surgery might be a viable option. Can the glans fully be exposed after erection? Obese individuals often have more surrounding fat tissue, making the penis appear less exposed externally. The pubic hair is very close to the glans, and fallen hair may stick inside. The surgery should be considered successful. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
