Patient's question:
Hello doctor, every time I have sex with my boyfriend, I don't feel very comfortable. My boyfriend says his foreskin is too long and he has phimosis. I don't really understand, what exactly is phimosis? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment?Doctor's answer:
If it reappears, phimosis is generally believed to prevent the foreskin from retracting, or cause pain when retracting the foreskin. Based on your current age, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. This condition can also affect sexual life. Full recovery after surgery may take about one month. After surgery, you should avoid drinking beer and eating foods to prevent wound pain and swelling. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
