Patient's question:
My foreskin is quite long. Last night, I myself retracted it and didn't return it to its original position, leaving the glans exposed. Today, I noticed some swelling around the glans. Is it phimosis entrapment or something else? I had sexual activity last night. How can phimosis be treated when the foreskin is retracted?Doctor's answer:
Hypospadias and phimosis are like a double-edged sword. They not only severely endanger the health of male patients but can also cause harm to women through sexual activity. This includes introducing the penis into the female vagina, which can lead to vaginal inflammation, cervical inflammation, and long-term irritation can even cause penile cancer. Therefore, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a circumcision surgery. For patients with hypospadias, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it will affect your physical condition. Therefore, patients should seek timely treatment according to their symptoms and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
