Can phimosis with retraction during erection be left without surgery?

Patient's question:

Penis foreskin is long, it can be flipped out during erection. The glans has smegma, but it's normal after washing every day. Can I avoid circumcision surgery?

Doctor's answer:

This situation involves excessive foreskin, where the foreskin can be retracted to reveal the head of the penis, without redness, swelling, itching, or abnormal discharge, indicating no immediate issues. It is important to pay attention to hygiene and use warm water to clean the area every night to prevent the recurrence of balanoposthitis, which is beneficial for health. Surgery is not necessary in this case.
For individuals with prolonged foreskin, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek medication treatment promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
