Patient's question:
I recently felt unwell and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. It turned out to be pseudo-redundant prepuce, and the prepuce was particularly tight, allowing the glans to be fully exposed. Usually, there were no abnormalities, but sometimes it caused stomach issues. I haven't heard anyone say that pseudo-redundant prepuce needs treatment, and I'm not sure myself. I'd like to consult whether pseudo-redundant prepuce should be treated.Doctor's answer:
For pseudo-redundant prepuce, if it does not interfere with normal sexual life and the glans penis is free of inflammation, it can be considered to avoid manual intervention temporarily. However, once it affects the quality of sexual life, it is necessary to implement preputial surgery in a timely manner. You can have the surgery at a hospital.If the prepuce is redundant, it is important to pay attention to the hygiene and cleanliness of the vagina, otherwise it is not easy to cause urethritis and balanitis. Redundant prepuce can lead to chronic irritation of the long-term urine and preputial scales, causing the glans to develop mucosal edema, congestion, erosion, and recurrent cross-sensitivity, or even preputial entrapment. If not treated in time, the inflammation can spread along the reproductive tract, leading to prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, and epididymitis. It can also be transmitted to sexual partners through sexual intercourse.
