Patient's question:
Penile edema and severe pain, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
If you have phimosis, consider having the surgery to remove it. That is, perform a circumcision. According to your description, it should be manual correction, as the glans cannot be restored. I suggest you reset it and undergo surgical treatment. Phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin completely covers the glans of the penis, and the glans cannot naturally protrude, but the foreskin can be moved during washing, masturbation, or sexual activity to expose the glans. Therefore, phimosis is different from paraphimosis. Paraphimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin not only covers the glans but also cannot be moved to expose the glans. For individuals with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health.
