Patient's question:
After the growth and development during my adolescence, I experienced a recurrence of phimosis. The skin of the penis tightly covers the glans, preventing it from fully retracted, and even during an erection, the foreskin still covers the urethral meatus. This has caused me great distress and has affected my sexual life. Does phimosis in men affect sexual life?Doctor's answer:
Since excessive foreskin is prone to harboring bacteria, if everyone does not clean it promptly before engaging in sexual activity, these bacteria can be transmitted to women, leading to the recurrence of gynecological diseases in women. This severely affects women's health. For patients with excessive foreskin, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it can impact overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and maintain regular sexual activity while avoiding prolonged sitting in daily life.
