Patient's question:
I have noticed since I was a child that my foreskin is particularly long, covering the penis, and sometimes the head of my penis doesn't even show when it's erect. I am about to get married to my wife, and I am very concerned about how it might affect our sexual life in the future. I want to consider getting a circumcision to address this. Is the effect of circumcision good?Doctor's answer:
If you have phimosis, it is still recommended that you undergo circumcision. Phimosis is more prone to causing inflammation of the foreskin and inflammation of the glans penis. Additionally, with phimosis, the glans penis is more sensitive and is also more likely to lead to premature ejaculation. Therefore, it may still be considered to undergo surgery for treatment, but it is essential to go to a reputable hospital or a Grade III-A hospital. Under no circumstances should you go to unqualified hospitals. Phimosis and paraphimosis are conditions that tend to recur, requiring long-term medication.
