Patient's question:
I am 24 years old. Recently, my mother told me that I should get a circumcision. Now, it seems like I have a condition called phimosis. Then, I would like to ask what are the symptoms of phimosis and how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, there are no special symptoms for phimosis or paraphimosis. It is just that the foreskin is relatively long, covering the external urethral orifice, and the glans can be exposed by manual manipulation. If it is paraphimosis, it cannot be exposed by manual manipulation. If there is phimosis or paraphimosis, it is easy to cause the accumulation of smegma, which can then lead to balanitis. For patients with phimosis or paraphimosis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it can affect the overall health condition. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
