Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 29 years old. I have been experiencing difficulty urinating recently. My penis is not visible, only a small hole, with secretions inside. Sometimes it swells and aches. Could you please tell me if I have phimosis? What treatment is needed?Doctor's answer:
This situation is mainly caused by excessive foreskin, which can easily lead to excessive sensitivity of the glans. For balanoposthitis, it is best to pay attention to maintaining good personal hygiene and allowing the glans to be exposed more often. The condition you described is quite severe, so it is recommended to undergo circumcision surgery to avoid infection or affect future sexual life. Phimosis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to cooperate actively with the doctor during treatment, use medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy foods, smoking, and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
