Is surgery required if the foreskin is wrapped around the glans but can be exposed?

Patient's question:

Is it okay if the foreskin is always covering the head of the penis? But it can be pulled back. Do I need to have surgery? Can it be fixed by using a band below the head of the penis?

Doctor's answer:

This condition is a manifestation of phimosis. It is caused by excessive foreskin. If you have phimosis, you will need to undergo a circumcision surgery. Under no circumstances should you use a rubber band to tie the area below the head of the penis. If it becomes entrapped, it can easily lead to pus formation. The daily treatment for male reproductive health conditions primarily involves symptomatic medication. Patients can take some oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, and pay attention to regular routines while avoiding alcohol.
