Patient's question:
Last week, I went for a pre-marital health check-up. During the thorough physical examination, the doctor pointed out an issue of phimosis. The foreskin almost completely covers the glans, leaving only the urethral meatus exposed. It's difficult to retract the foreskin with the hand, and the doctor recommended surgery for correction. Why does phimosis occur?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for excessive foreskin. The causes of male excessive foreskin may be related to one's daily sexual life. For patients with excessive foreskin, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If not treated in time, it may affect the physical condition. Therefore, patients should take medication in a timely manner and avoid overexertion in daily life. They should also pay attention to personal hygiene and dietary habits.
