Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My foreskin is long but can be easily retracted. Is it necessary for me to get a circumcision? If I don't get it done now, is it better to keep it retracted or covered?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, you currently have phimosis. If the foreskin is not tight, there is absolutely no need to undergo a circumcision procedure. Based on your current condition, it is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, retract the foreskin daily for cleaning, and ensure that no smegma accumulates. It is generally better to keep the glans covered during daily activities. Phimosis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication for management. Additionally, for male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment decisions should be based on thorough examination results. Proper diet and avoiding sexual activity should also be noted. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
