Patient's question:
I have had excessive foreskin since I was a child, and it seems that I have always found it difficult to talk to my parents about it, so no one knows about this matter, nor do they understand that I should go to the hospital to have part of it removed. Now I have a girlfriend, but we haven't reached the final step yet. I'm afraid that my excessive foreskin will hurt her.Doctor's answer:
Excessive male foreskin can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease in women. There are many reasons for pelvic inflammatory disease, mainly postpartum or post-abortion infections, or surgical procedures such as uterine scraping or fallopian tube irrigation. However, gynecologists still point the finger at men: some men have sex with their partners during menstruation, which results in pelvic inflammatory disease. Excessive foreskin can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used according to symptoms during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to develop good lifestyle habits and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period.
