Can a circumcision be performed if one has balanitis?

Patient's question:

I haven't been spending much time with my wife in bed; it's usually only two or three minutes before it's over. I feel really sorry for my wife, so I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said it was due to excessive foreskin and recommended surgery. I was preparing for the surgery, but during the check-up, it was found that I had balanitis. Can I still have a circumcision if I have balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

During the period of balanitis, surgery cannot be performed. First, allow the inflammation to heal completely, and then proceed with the surgery. Performing surgery during inflammation can easily lead to infection, which is beneficial for the body's full recovery after surgery. Excessive foreskin is indeed a major cause of sexual dysfunction and needs to be thoroughly investigated. During the examination, be as meticulous as possible. The condition of the foreskin tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is necessary to seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
